Why a TAD may be recommended

An anchor when the teeth alone are not enough.

A TAD is a small temporary orthodontic anchor. Dr. Haykani may recommend one when your treatment plan needs anchorage that the teeth alone cannot predictably provide. Whether you need one is explained at the free consultation, along with the plan, timing and exact fee.

Placement plan

Planned for your case.

Placement and follow-up are planned for the individual case, and Dr. Haykani explains what to expect before anything is placed, including how to care for the area afterward.

Follow-up and removal

Removed when it is no longer needed.

Dr. Haykani checks the TAD at your treatment visits, and it is removed once it is no longer needed. If it feels loose or irritated, call or text the office; orthodontic emergencies get a same-day response.

The office is open Sunday through Friday, 8 AM to 7 PM, with Sunday and evening appointments available.

What it costs

Quoted at the consultation.

Your fee is quoted at the free consultation, before you decide. Insurance is verified and maximized, and payments can be spread across treatment with 0% financing.
