Commentaires

  • Interesting treatment as patient presented with a full class II, skeletally based malocclusion
  • Treatment options typically considered, would be either a 2 phase approach of functional orthopedics, followed by braces, or a single phase treatment of braces with class 2 elastics
  • I elected a similar approach, but utilized Invisalign Teen with class 2 elastics
  • This treatment was successful because it was likely to be the favorable growth pattern and staging, combined with excellent patient elastic and aligner wear compliance
  • I would alter 2 things in a future similar case
  • I would use a full class II elastic –correction simulation in the patient Clincheck set up.
  • Class II elastics from buttons 1.3 (UR3), 2.3 (UL3) and 3.6 (LL6), 4.6 (LR6)would be more beneficial in overbite and incisal height corrections.
