ABSTRACT

Care is provided to a 25-year-old male patient with a Class I incisor relationship on a Class I skeletal pattern, who presents a slight increase the lower face height and moderate upper and lower anterior crowding. The patient was treated with 28 Invisalign® aligners, without extractions, with interproximal reduction. The shape of the upper and lower arches is maintained. Likewise, the inter canine distance is preserved, leaving the lower incisors in their original position after treatment. Aesthetics, function and stability are achieved. The different treatment proposals suggested by the Invisalign® system recommendations are presented with their advantages and limitations to achieve excellence in treatment with aligners.
