Case Study 4 - Aligners

Clear aligner therapy allows for a fast and efficient way to correct misaligned teeth. Crowding and spacing can be seamlessly corrected by using digital intraoral imaging and photography to create a customized plan for precise and predictable movements. Through detailed imaging, we map out your smile transformation, ensuring every step is tailored to your unique dental needs. This modern approach offers a discreet, comfortable way to achieve a straighter smile with accuracy and confidence.

This patient was unhappy with the crowding and positioning of her teeth. The retroclined nature and rotations of her teeth also made cleaning of the dentition more difficult.

Photography and digital 3D imaging were obtained to showcase the teeth crowding and rotation issues to the patient.

The teeth are digitally moved within the impression to a more ideal position. The advanced software then creates a step by step movement plan that will be fast as well as predictable.

The advanced software then creates a step by step movement plan of how many aligners will be required in order to achieve a fast and predictable result.

Individual custom aligners are then fabricated based on each step of the digital plan.

In order to achieve the faster and most predictable movement, composite resin attachments are placed in specific location to aid in the tooth movement.

The patient is then given instruction on how to maintain and use their clear aligners. The aligners are then changed out on a patient-specific frequency to ensure proper tooth movement.

The final results speak for themselves, as the patient's chief concern of the front tooth crowding and rotations have been addressed. In order to ensure long-term stability, clear retainers are fabricated for nighttime wear.
