ClearPath aligners: An invisible approach for the correction of anterior open bite

Abstract

Clear aligner treatment has established itself as a reputable orthodontic procedure known for its aesthetic appeal and comfort, particularly favored by adult patients This case report details the clear aligner treatment administered to an adult patient presenting with an anterior open bite and spaced upper dentition. The treatment involved closing spaces and retracting upper anterior teeth, while interproximal reduction was performed in the lower arch. The Elastic Button Technique (EBT) was employed to address the open bite. A total of 9 sets of clear aligners were provided, with a recommended wear time of 22 hours per day for 10 days, spanning a four-month period. Consequently, this case study underscores the effectiveness of using clear aligners in orthodontic treatment to resolve anterior open bite issues. The inconspicuous design of these aligners not only contributes to enhanced periodontal health but also boosts patient acceptance.
