Fun with VectorTAS miniscrews

The VectorTAS orthodontic miniscrew system gives an orthodontist the ability to move teeth in ways never before possible. I'm an orthodontist and decided to put one in myself to see how it felt. I only used a topical anesthetic gel and didn't feel a thing.

You do not have braces, so what did you need a screw for ?

My orthodontist told me that i will need to get my anterior theeth intruded because they have erupted a little more than they should, so they look longer... Im just a little scared, i think it's going to hurt :D ..
