Abstract
Diastema or spacing in the anterior teeth is one frequent complaint of patients for undergoing orthodontic treatment. This case report presents the treatment of an adult patient with multiple spacings in the anterior teeth due to a Bolton discrepancy that was treated mostly by tipping using clear aligners. After 16 months of treatment, the patient's profile improved (Upper incisor inclination U1-FH: decreased from 127° to 117.86°; lower incisor inclination IMPA: decreased from 103° to 96°; Upper lip to E-line: decreased from 1.81 to 0.25 mm, Lower lip to E-line: decreased from 1.74 to 1.25 mm). Clear aligners can effectively address spacing issues in the anterior teeth of adult patients who have high aesthetic demands.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Case Reports is different from other case report journals. Our aim is to directly improve global health and increase clinical understanding using case reports to convey important best practice information. We welcome case reports from all areas of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Veterinary Science and may include: -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates an important best practice teaching message -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates the appropriate use of an important clinical guideline or systematic review. As well as: -The management of novel or very uncommon diseases -A common disease presenting in an uncommon way -An uncommon disease masquerading as something more common -Cases which expand understanding of disease pathogenesis -Cases where the teaching point is based on an error -Cases which allow us to re-think established medical lore -Unreported adverse effects of interventions (drug, procedural, or other).
