Orthodontic cases

Clear Aligner Orthodontics

Case Presentation:
The girl felt that her anterior teeth could not occlude together properly, which affected eating efficiency. She also felt that her teeth exposure was limited when smiling. Both the compromised occlusal function and aesthetics had some impact on her daily life, and she wished to undergo orthodontic treatment.

Treatment Plan:
Clinical examination revealed an anterior open bite with no occlusal contact between the front teeth. The occlusal plane curve—reflected in the smile line—was uneven. The narrow dental arch prevented the tongue from resting in its correct position, and the teeth exhibited excessive vertical development. The correction plan employed clear aligner orthodontics to intrude the posterior teeth, resolving the excessive vertical dimension, and to expand the arch, resolving the arch-narrowing problem.

Treatment Outcome:
Following Invisalign clear aligner treatment, the dental arch was transformed from a V-shaped to a more square/rounded (U-shaped) form, providing ample space for the tongue. The anterior teeth now occlude properly, the anterior open bite has been resolved, and a smile line appears on smiling, with a more proportionate buccal corridor. The restored anterior occlusal function allows the patient to enjoy many foods that were previously difficult to eat. Orthodontic treatment has improved not only aesthetics but also overall health.
