Clear Aligner Series for Severe Crowding
A 42-stage aligner case for severe anterior crowding, produced from a clinician-planned setup with documented attachments and interproximal reduction.
A 42-stage aligner case for severe anterior crowding, produced from a clinician-planned setup with documented attachments and interproximal reduction.
A 29-year-old patient with 6 mm of anterior crowding and a deep bite. The clinician planned a non-extraction approach with interproximal reduction in the lower arch.
The setup was reviewed for staging continuity before printing; two stages were re-ordered because the movement per stage exceeded the aligner's elastic limit.
Models were printed, aligners thermoformed and trimmed, and the series packed in numbered bags with the stage printed on each. Attachments were documented and a bonding template was supplied for the first stage.
The staging review. A series that looks fine in software can fail on the model if the movement per stage is too aggressive.
