Assessment of Pain and Discomfort after Insertion of Temporary Anchorage Devices – A Single-Group Prospective Cohort Study

The primary objective of this study was to compare the anticipated pain levels reported by patients with the actual pain experienced on the first day after the insertion of TADs. The secondary objective was to evaluate the pain and discomfort levels reported by orthodontic patients during the first week following TADs placement, as well as identify the factors associated with this pain and discomfort.
