3. The double film method is indicated for
selecting the appropriate point of entry for IZC
or buccal shelf screws.
4. Extensive experience with the double film
method has demonstrated it is an advantageous
approach for reliably placing IZC 6 & IZC 7 bone
screws to retract the dentition.
5. The double film method has significant
advantages for both the clinician and the
patient.

1. Thanks to Dr. Leslie Yen-Peng Chen for the
innovative idea leading to the current double
film method for accurately placing TADs for
orthodontic anchorage.
2. Thanks to Dr. Mala Ram Manohar for the practical
idea of using pin heads with a 1mm shaft to mark
the initial point of tissue penetration for a TAD.
3. Thanks to Dr. Po-Jung Chen for the CBCT cross-
sectional evaluation of the IZC 6 vs. IZC 7 sites as
shown in Fig. 4.
4. Thanks to Dr. Po-Jan Kuo for the CBCT information
in Fig. 5 which illustrates the buccal anatomy of
IZC 6 & 7 sites.
