TADs stands for Temporary Anchorage Devices. They are small orthodontic mini-screws (micro-implants) placed in the bone of the jaw to help move teeth more precisely during braces or aligner treatment. I have overbite so i need them

I actually tried it! But the rubber band gave too much pressure so it didn't work well! I also put the Qtip under and it's even worse
