“…Indeed, this outcome may have been circumvented by opting for a non-extraction treatment option with conventional methods. [35][36][37] However, for this case, the extent of crowding was considerable and required space for the distalization of canines to achieve a Class I canine relationship. Few studies have reported the successful treatment of complex cases with clear aligners, and robust evidence through randomized controlled trials is lacking.…”

Clear aligners are a well-established alternative to conventional fixed orthodontic appliances for treating mild-to-moderate malocclusion. This case report details the successful treatment of a 14-year-old female patient with Class II malocclusion, crowding, and dental crossbite using extraction and the Invisalign® system. Achieving satisfactory anterior guidance by correcting the anterior crossbite and reducing the overjet and overbite was the primary treatment goal. Secondary treatment objectives included upper and lower midline alignment, leveling and alignment of arches, and achieving a Class I canine relationship for adequate canine guidance. Two sets of clear aligners were chosen; the first for alignment and the second for refinement. Extraction of teeth 14 and 24 were performed during the first aligner treatment phase, with space closure achieved by the distal movement of canine and posterior teeth mesialization. The second set of aligners refined the dentition by correcting the posterior open bite and extrusion of posterior teeth. Treatment duration was 13.5 months. By the end of treatment, the Invisalign system in conjunction with tooth extraction established an ideal overbite and overjet, corrected the crossbite, and achieved a Class I canine relationship with minimal disruption to the patient’s esthetic appearance. In addition, root axes were parallel and well controlled, despite extractions and space closure. Awareness of the dental biomechanics when clear aligners and extraction are used may be imperative for yielding successful outcomes for patients with Class II malocclusion and extractions.

“…The lack of optimal dental compensation compromises the quality and quantity of the correction. 4 Stability has been an important factor for all orthodontic corrections and ortho-surgical correction is no exception. Jakobsone G et al, in a three year follow-up study in Class III patients who were treated with bimaxillary surgery concluded that there was good occlusal stability in all the patients.…”

Class III malocclusion is always challenging for the orthodontist. There are different methods to address the Class III malocclusion in growing patients, adolescents and adults. When the malocclusion is very severe and beyond the scope of orthodontics alone, ortho-surgical approach is considered to correct the underlying skeletal deformity. This article is a description of two cases treated with bi-jaw surgery to achieve the desired treatment outcome.

“…37 Also, following growth modification therapy, there is a clear reestablishment of the Class III craniofacial pattern, necessitating overcorrection to prevent clinical relapse. 30,34 Recent case reports 38,39 have demonstrated successful management of Class III malocclusion in adolescent patients using the RME-facemask protocol.…”
