Comments

1. Simultaneous expansion at upper arch and molar move first sequential expansion at lower arch. Invisalign First is super effective for arch expansion.
2. The final result was no extra-space of lower arch. Well-aligned arch form and complete Leeway space were enough for full permanent dentition.
3. Anterior crossbite was corrected with aligners only.
