Treatment of Class III Malocclusion and Anterior Crossbite with Aligners: A Case Report (Summary)

-

 


    Introduction:

    Class III malocclusion is a common dental issue that affects the alignment of the teeth and jaws. It is characterized by the lower jaw protruding forward, causing the lower teeth to overlap the upper teeth. Anterior crossbite is another dental issue that occurs when the upper front teeth are positioned behind the lower front teeth.
    Both of these issues can cause discomfort, difficulty chewing, and aesthetic concerns. Traditional orthodontic treatments for these issues involve the use of braces, but aligners have become an increasingly popular alternative due to their convenience and effectiveness.
    This case report aims to demonstrate the successful use of aligners for correcting Class III malocclusion and anterior crossbite.

    Methods:

    The patient in this case report was a 23-year-old female with Class III malocclusion and anterior crossbite. She was treated with clear aligners over a period of 18 months. The aligners were custom-made using 3D digital models of the patient's teeth and jaws.
    The treatment plan involved a series of aligners that were worn for two weeks each, gradually shifting the teeth into the desired position. The patient was monitored regularly throughout the treatment process to ensure that the aligners were working effectively.

    Results:

    The aligner treatment was successful in correcting the patient's Class III malocclusion and anterior crossbite. The patient reported no discomfort or pain during the treatment process.
    The aligners were easy to wear and did not interfere with the patient's daily activities. The treatment took a total of 18 months to achieve the desired results. The patient was satisfied with the outcome of the treatment and reported improved aesthetics and functionality of her teeth.

    Discussion:

    The use of aligners for correcting Class III malocclusion and anterior crossbite has become increasingly popular in recent years. Aligners offer several advantages over traditional braces, including improved aesthetics, convenience, and comfort.
    Aligners are also effective in correcting mild to moderate dental issues, such as Class III malocclusion and anterior crossbite. This case report demonstrates the successful use of aligners for correcting these issues in a patient. The aligner treatment was effective, comfortable, and convenient for the patient.
    The treatment took a total of 18 months, which is comparable to the time required for traditional orthodontic treatments.

    Conclusion:

    Aligners are a viable alternative to traditional braces for correcting Class III malocclusion and anterior crossbite. This case report demonstrates the successful use of aligners for correcting

One of the major components of fixed orthodontic therapy is the choice of wires. Orthodontic wires are defined as devices comprising a wire conforming to the alveolar or dental arch, which is used as an anchorage for correcting irregularities in the position of teeth . Therefore, the aim of the this assignment   was to focus on the differences in the features of wires as well as their working sequence according to the treatment plan.   1-   Archwire Types:
