Roshan, a young man presented with a chief complaint of proclination and spacing in the upper arch, along with crowding in the lower arch. These concerns not only affected the esthetics of his smile but also his overall dental harmony and confidence.
After evaluation, Roshan was enrolled on a treatment plan using Illusion Aligners PRO — a modern, faster, & non-invasive approach to orthodontics. What made his case especially remarkable was that no tooth extractions were required. Instead, a carefully designed sequence of clear aligners helped address both the alignment and bite issues effectively.
Let's see the results
Orthodontic treatments are done to improve both function and appearance of a smile. This works in boosting self-confidence and oral health of a person. With innovations like Clear Aligners, patients can achieve an aligned smile discreetly. Without the need for metal braces. This case study highlights how Illusion Aligners PRO solve dental issues effectively. While offering a comfortable and clear solution for lasting results.
A young male patient reported with a chief complaint of proclination with spacing in the upper arch and crowding of teeth in the lower arch.
This case highlights how Clear Aligners and a no-extraction plan helped correct his smile and bite issues.
A detailed clinical examination diagnosed the patient with Angles Class 2 Division 1 malocclusion with proclined upper anterior proclination and spacing. The lower arch had crowding, and lip incompetence was observed.
UPPER ARCH | |
---|---|
(i) | Minor Spacing correction |
(ii) | Controlled Tipping |
(iii) | Rotation Correction of lateral incisor |
LOWER ARCH | |
---|---|
(i) | Minor Crowding Correction |
(ii) | IPR |
A comprehensive treatment plan was prepared. This favored a non-extraction approach with the use of Inter-Proximal Reduction (IPR) in the lower arch to achieve the desired treatment outcomes.
This orthodontic treatment involved 12 sets of Illusion Aligners PRO to show achievable results. Made from advanced material, the aligners were nearly invisible during wear. They were specifically designed to gradually reposition the upper right lateral incisor and align the lower anterior teeth, ensuring that the treatment objectives were met.
The refinement phase provided a finishing touch to the smile of the patient. During this phase, 5 sets of Illusion Aligners PRO were used for both the upper and lower arches. This ensured the final treatment goals are achieved precisely.
The patient achieved excellent orthodontic results. The upper arch was successfully closed with controlled tipping, improving both functions and oral health. Lip competence was also restored. This worked in improving the patient’s smile and self-confidence.
The patient was guided to a long-lasting result by a simple and effective retention plan. To ensure in keeping the teeth in their new positions. The patient was given a fixed retainer for better stability. This was placed carefully to hold the teeth in place. Along with this, a removable retainer was advised to be worn for one year to prevent the teeth from moving back. This two-part plan helped protect the results and keep the patient’s smile looking great for the long term.
This case study shows how a custom treatment plan, along with careful planning, can lead to precise results. Illusion Aligners PRO helped move teeth in a controlled way. This fixes the patient’s problems effectively.
