[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Treatment Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

The patient, a 19-year-old woman, was evaluated to undergo orthodontic treatment using the Angel Aligner Pro system. She presents with a skeletal Class III, mesofacial, with a dental Class III malocclusion and a 2 mm deviation of the lower midline to the left. Teeth 33 and 43 are out of the arch and cortical bone, with a crossbite issue on tooth 33. Fortunately, no functional issues affecting swallowing or breathing have been detected. <\/p>\n

The patient was treated with Angel Aligner Pro, without the need for any refinement. A total of 39 treatment phases were planned. Each treatment phase involves using a flexible aligner for 7 days and a more rigid aligner for 3 days. Therefore, each treatment phase takes 10 days. In total, the treatment time was one year and one month. <\/p>\n

What is remarkable about this case is the speed with which it was resolved, the fact that it was unnecessary to request additional aligners beyond the initial phase, and the control of rotation, tip, and root torque of the lower canines.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1755630390579{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;background-color: #D8D8D8 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Patient introduction<\/h3>\n

Age:<\/strong> 19 years old
\nGender:<\/strong> Female
\nTreatment time:<\/strong> 13 months
\nNumber of aligners:<\/strong> 39
\nChief complaint:<\/strong> The patient, a 19-year-old woman, was evaluated to undergo orthodontic treatment using the Angel Aligner Pro system. She presents with a skeletal Class III, mesofacial, with a dental Class III malocclusion and a 2 mm deviation of the lower midline to the left. Teeth 33 and 43 are out of the arch and cortical bone, with a crossbite issue on tooth 33. Fortunately, no functional issues affecting swallowing or breathing have been detected. The patient\u2019s motivation for starting treatment was a general review of her dental and aesthetic health. The soft tissue analysis reveals mandibular protrusion that influences her facial profile. This diagnosis highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to address dental and skeletal misalignments, improving both the patient\u2019s functionality and facial aesthetics. <\/p>\n
