Description
Estimated cost for Orthodontic mini-implant removal at general public hospitals in China is about ¥15-40, and at Grade 3A hospitals about ¥20-50, varying by hospital tier and region.
Main Uses
Clinical removal of orthodontic temporary anchorage devices (TADs or 'orthodontic mini-implants') once orthodontic treatment goals are achieved or when complications arise (e.g., mobility, infection, root proximity, patient discomfort, or planned device replacement). Performed under local anesthesia, typically in an orthodontist’s office, to ensure safe extraction without damaging adjacent teeth, bone, or soft tissues.
