Abstract

Aligners have become the alternative treatment of choice in adult patients who do not want fixed orthodontic appliance therapy due to esthetic concerns. This case report demonstrates the effectiveness of Clear aligners used to treat an adult female patient with severe proclination and generalized spacing in the upper and lower arches, good periodontal condition and a high DMFT Index. Predicted results were achieved with the clear aligners as per the virtual setup with reduction in proclination, closure of generalized spacing and a pleasing facial profile with competent lips.
