Abstract:

The orthodontic specialty is experiencing an accelerating evolution during the past decades. The art and science behind an ideal occlusion and an elegant smile is moving towards more efficient and aesthetic treatment options. Clear braces, lingual appliances and invisible aligners are all included in the armamentarium of contemporary clinicians. Invisalign is a highly aesthetic method that allows for predictable tooth movements through individualized digital treatment planning for both children and adults. In this presentation, the indications and limitations of the technique will be discussed and displayed through clinical cases.
