CA300/2 – Advanced Clear Aligner Treatment with Emphasis on Class II Deep Bite Cases and Differential Distalization of Maxillary Molars

Worldwide, more adults are receiving orthodontic therapy than ever before, and this is being credited to the use of sequential Clear Aligners. More companies are developing Aligner systems, and this in turn will lead to even more technical advancements. Complicated malocclusions and skeletal dysplasia are now being treated with sequential Aligners for both adults and teenagers. These Aligners may look quite simple, but they are a very sophisticated bio-force appliance. Clear Aligners are now an integral part [...]
