Class III Mechanics for Aligners
Date
May 6, 2024
Conservative camouflage Class III treatment is a widely accepted alternative for patients who prefer a non-surgical correction. Extra-alveolar TSADs can provide absolute anchorage during tooth movement, and when combined with aligners, sequential distalization can be utilized to correct Class III malocclusion. Class III elastics and attachments are also important auxiliaries to overcome common side-effects.
Learning Objectives
- Apply the 3-ring diagnosis scheme in Class III diagnosis.
- Determine the appropriate extraction strategies for varying types of Class III malocclusion.
- Correctly insert extra-alveolar miniscrews in combination with aligner therapy.
