“Managing Class II Div I Malocclusion with Clear Path Aligners Utilizing an Extraction-Based Treatment Approach: A Case Report”

Abstract

This case report is based on the clear aligner treatment of an adult patient presented with class II div I malocclusion. The case was treated with the extraction of upper first premolars and interproximal reduction in the lower arch. Total 35 sets of upper aligners and 25 sets of lower aligners were delivered with the wear time of 22 hours per day for 10 days. The entire treatment course spanned a period of 14 months. Thus, the case study underscores the reliability of orthodontic treatment with clear aligners for addressing class II malocclusion. The discreet nature of these aligners not only enhances periodontal health but also increases patient acceptance. As a result, they are more likely to embrace and adhere to the treatment, fostering better overall outcomes.
