EDITORIAL A nice approach to TADs
The National Institute for Health in Clinical Excellence
(NICE) decided to hold a consultation on the ‘safety
and efficacy of mini/micro screw implantation for
orthodontic anchorage’.
The issue was open for public
consultation for a four-week period over the summer
of 2007.
At the same time, NICE approached a number
of clinicians who are deemed to be ‘experts’ in the use of
temporary anchorage devices and asked if they could
send a questionnaire to their patients asking how they
felt about the whole process and procedures involved in
the placement of temporary anchorage devices.
They
asked these patients how the placement of temporary
anchorage devices affected, in a positive or negative
way, their physical symptoms, pain, level of disability,
mental health/well being and general quality of life.
They also asked the patients to list any other areas, not
listed above, which were affected by the placement of
temporary anchorage devices.
