Invisalign treatment of dental Class II malocclusions without auxiliaries.

چکیده

I nvisalign* treatment of dental Class II malocclusions in adolescents and young adults is not commonly attempted, even by orthodontists who have significant experience with aligners. Furthermore, the need for auxiliaries such as Class II correctors or elastics makes the technique less appealing to many clinicians. As this article shows, however, there are other successful ways to treat Class II cases using the Invisalign system without auxiliaries. All three of the patients presented here are adolescent females, each of whom desired treatment without fixed appliances. Since none of the three had a significant skeletal imbalance, an orthopedic corrector such as headgear was not considered necessary for successful treatment.
