Comments

  • In the initial stage, I leveled the spee curve by intruding the lower incisors.
  • Applied lingual root torque of the lower incisors to improve the inter incisor angle.
  • Class III elastics were used to improve the Molar class.
  • Vertical elastics used to help close the posterior bite.
  • Patient collaboration was essential.
  • With the additional aligners we didn't do the programmed IPR since we considered it unnecessary as the incisors were quite leveled.
  • It was necessary to improve overbite.
