Spider Screw K2 Orthodontic TAD Mini-Implant (Ø1.9 mm)
Precision Anchorage for Demanding Clinical Cases
When your orthodontic treatment demands a stronger, more robust anchorage solution, the Spider Screw K2 Temporary Anchorage Device (TAD) delivers. Engineered with a Ø1.9 mm tapered, self-drilling and self-tapping conical thread, the K2 is purpose-built for cases requiring greater stability and load-bearing capacity — all while maintaining the minimally invasive placement philosophy that defines the Spider Screw system.
The Spider Screw K2's tapered infraosseous profile enables direct insertion without the need for pre-drilling in the vast majority of cases. Only when cortical bone density is exceptionally high is a pilot hole recommended, using a Ø1.3 mm drill. This streamlined approach reduces procedural steps, shortens chair time, and enhances patient comfort throughout treatment.
Key Features & Benefits
- Tapered Self-Drilling & Self-Tapping Conical Thread: Designed for direct bone insertion in most cases, eliminating the need for pre-drilling and simplifying the placement workflow.
- Diameter: Ø1.9 mm for superior primary stability and enhanced load-bearing capacity compared to smaller TAD systems.
- Available Lengths: 6 mm, 7 mm, 9 mm, and 11 mm to accommodate diverse anatomical sites and clinical needs.
- Two Neck Height Options: Long Neck (2 mm) for thick soft tissues in posterior and lateral sectors; Short Neck (1 mm) for thin tissues in anterior and lateral sectors.
- Immediate Loading: As a non-osteointegrable implant, orthodontic forces can be applied immediately after placement — no osseointegration or waiting period required.
- Versatile Placement: Suitable for both the maxilla and mandible, including sites with limited access or challenging bone quality.
Transmucosal Collar Options
The Spider Screw K2 is available with two transmucosal collar heights to match your patient's soft tissue biotype. The Long Neck (2 mm) is optimized for thick soft tissues typically found in posterior and lateral sectors, while the Short Neck (1 mm) is the standard choice for thin tissues in anterior and lateral sectors. Selecting the correct collar height ensures optimal hygiene access and long-term stability throughout treatment.
More strength. Same simplicity. Zero compromise.
The K2's larger diameter provides the additional primary stability needed for biomechanically demanding applications, including en-masse retraction, molar intrusion, and vertical control — without adding complexity to your clinical protocol.
