Fig.11: Pre and post-treatment ClinCheck⢠assessment
Seventeen upper and lower aligners were used to initially extrude the
upper anterior segments (at the rate of 2 weeks per aligner) by
approximately 3mm and also to intrude the upper posterior segment by
1mm.(Fig. 11) In order to achieve this, the patient was asked to wear
additional inter maxillary elastics (1/8, 3.5 Oz) from the hooks
fabricated on the upper canine to the ones on the lower canine and
premolar, in a triangular fashion and only at nighttime. (Fig. 12)
