Mild Class 3 – Crowding

 

Age: 40 years old

Gender: Male

Patient Primary Concern

Bite doesn’t feel right

Treatment Information
  • Treatment Duration: 11.5 months
  • Number of aligners on upper: 46
  • Number of aligners on lower: 41
 
Treatment Plan
  • Improve alignment of upper and lower incisors
  • Lower 3-3 IPR of 3mm to align and slightly upright lower incisors
  • Improve coupling of upper and lower canines and in incisors to achieve a better overbite
  • Improve arch coordination to remove posterior primary contact causing a co/cr discrepancy (this shift between CO and CR was the reason the patient did not feel his bite was comfortable)
 
Results
  • Successfully achieved coordination of the upper and lower arch to remove the primary contact and shift from CO/CR
  • Upper and lower alignment improved, and lower incisors were uprighted a few degrees
  • A better overbite was achieved as well
 
Diagnosis
  • Mild Class III
  • Minor to moderate crowding
  • 1mm open bite of right canines and right and left lateral incisors
  • CO/CR discrepancy due to primary posterior contact
