I recently finished treatment on a 16 year old male using Invisalign’s clear aligners only. I thought that the treatment results were phenomenal so I wanted to share.
10 years ago I would have treated this case with conventional brackets and wires, and jaw surgery only after the patient had finished skeletal growth.
Today, I would not hesitate to treat a case like this again with clear aligners. Start to finish: 18 months, 3 series of aligners.
Keys to success:
1. Unwavering compliance by a highly motivated individual.
2. Growing adolescent (Favorable growth).
3. Treatment plan.
