Comments
- For better anchorage, we did not move the deciduous and permanent molars
- The diastemas were quickly redistributed with the aid of attachments to ensure adaptation
- The pontic for tooth 1.2 was excellent and allowed a correct eruption of this tooth during active treatment
- The ellipsoidal posterior retention attachments allowed good alignment of the aligners throughout the treatment
- At the time we planned this case the optimized retention attachments were not available
- These optimized retention attachments would be our first choice because of the good combination of reduced size and retention
- Near the end of treatment, extraction of teeth 7.4 and 8.4 was requested due to ankylosis
- We kept some attachments for better retention of retainers that the patient is using at the moment
- This was a phase I treatment which will be continued with a phase II
