Case Study 2
Records demonstrating control of lower incisors: 32 months progress records of all phases of treatment with aligners and
a fi xed palatal expander. Lower aligners were only used to resolve severe crowding while controlling the lower incisor angle.
BEFORE AFTER
5
Aligners are second to
none at controlling
lower incisal position.
(See Case Study 2)
My favorite unrivaled effi -
ciency is the total ability to control lower
incisor positioning during all types of
movements. Whether it is using Class 2
elastics, resolving moderate to severe
crowding, or leveling the lower curve of
Spee, the ability to move, not move or limit
the movement of lower incisors to prevent
excessive fl aring is something no amount
of cinching or tiebacks of wires can do with
the same amount of effi cacy and effi ciency.
Conclusion
These facets of effi ciency are only fi ve
of many that I have grown to appreciate.
Such attributes have my subconscious orthodontic
alter ego whispering into my ear,
" I can't do that with braces ... " as I review
progress and fi nal records of my cases, as
well as think about the practice management
impact that aligners have had in my
22-year career.
Early in my career, I was undistracted
by others' doubts of aligners' correctness;
rather, I have been most effi cient when I
decisively apply my orthodontic acumen
to this appliance once thought of as silly
50 JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2022 // orthotown.com
I have always tried to share my
experiences with colleagues via lectures,
publications, online interaction
in orthodontic social media groups,
and a comprehensive online course I
co-founded that has educated more than
3,500 orthodontists, residents and faculty
globally on aligner orthodontics.
Somewhere along this path, I have been
labeled with the scarlet letters of " KOL, "
so please take everything you just read
with grain of pumice sand-because it
would be silly not to. ■
