![]() ![]() The top row has several fillings and a gold cap on a back molar. The next slide shows top-down photos of the top and bottom rows of teeth. And the decision was made to treat this as non-extraction using both mild arch expansion and interproximal reduction in order to gain the space necessary for alignment and also to control the black triangles that are anticipated to show up during the treatment process. Looking at the case diagnostics and the treatment goals, we ran through several simulations to determine whether we wanted to treat this with extraction, or to treat this as a non-extraction case. This has been discussed with the patient and he is aware that there is a potential for progression of the recession which would require a soft tissue graft post-treatment. Of note is the relatively thin periodontal biotype with a little bit of recession starting on, especially, lower left one. Lower midline is deviated slightly to the left, upper midline is deviated slightly to the right. He does have class one occlusion both right and left hand side. PRESENTER: Dentally, the patient has a normal overbite and overjet. The third is upside-down angled toward the bottom teeth, accentuating the crowding of his front two teeth, which overlap one another. ![]() The first are right-side up with the patient�s teeth first clenched together, then slightly opened. The next slide shows three close-up frontal photos of the patient�s teeth. Anterior aesthetics are adequate with no plans on changing either the anterior or posterior occlusal plane. PRESENTER: So as you can see, this patient has a well-balanced facial profile. In the third photo, he is in profile with a neutral expression. In the first two photos he is facing forward, first with a wide grimace, then a neutral expression. The next slide shows three photos of an older white male. We will go over the diagnostics and treatment objectives as we go through the records. This case is estimated to be approximately 16 months and we are at the current moment four months into the case. Rhe interval is weekly changes, but all patients have the ability to change at a slower interval if necessary, if they're seeing that things are not tracking or feel that they did not get the number of hours required in any particular tray. And the first 42 stages are the flex aligners, which is the more flexible material, with the last 10 stages, stage 43 through 53, being the force material, a little stronger material that is used for case finishing in this case. This case is planned for 53 total stages. PRESENTER: Today's case is a 56 year old male with the chief concern of crowding in both arches in the anterior. Further recession is possible which may require a soft tissue graft post-treatment.Įstimated at 16 months and we are in month 4ġ3| �3M 2021. Maintain occlusion and idealize alignment. Treatment Objectives: Non-extraction with IPR for crowding and black triangle along with mild arch expansion. Thin periodontal biotype with mild recession on lower anterior Onscreen text:Ěge: 56 years and 10 monthsĬhief Concern: Anterior crowding on both arches. Along the bottom of the slide is a copyright notice and a 3M logo, which remain for the duration of the video. ![]() The realigned model has grey nibs on the surface of several teeth. The next slide shows a side-by-side models of the patient�s teeth before and after alignment above a numbered timeline of the treatment plan. PRESENTER: Hello, today we are going to discuss a case of moderate crowding treated with the 3M Clarity Aligners new force and flex system. A bright red 3M logo is in the upper left corner. Two clear teeth aligners rest against a grey background beside text. ![]()
