Description
For the past 20 years, clear aligner therapy has become more popular in orthodontics. However, extrusion of anterior teeth to establish a consonant smile arc has been unpredictable at best. During this presentation, the force vectors associated with anterior extrusive movements will be resolved and a dependable, predictable extrusion attachment and staging protocol with clinical examples will be presented.
Learning Objectives:
-
Evaluate the force vectors on anterior teeth when using clear aligner therapy.
-
Discern the need for reciprocal attachments when attempting extrusion of anterior teeth.
-
Demonstrate clinical examples of attachment and staging protocols for predictable success.
