Mandibular Advancement in Adult Skeletal Class II Patients Using Clear Aligners and PhotobiomodulationTAREK EL-BIALY BDS, MSc, PhDDr. El-Bialy describes the combination of PBM with the Invisalign mandibular advancement feature in adult patients. In certain cases, this approach may avoid the need for extractions or orthognathic surgery. The protocol is illustrated in an adult female who was treated in only seven months. |

Maxillary Space Closure Using Aligners and Palatal Mini-Implants in Patients with Congenitally Missing Lateral IncisorsBENEDICT WILMES DMD, MSD, PhD, JÖRG SCHWARZE DMD, MSD, SIVABALAN VASUDAVAN BDSc, MDSc, MPH, DIETER DRESCHER DMS, MSD, PhDThe Mesialslider allows the use of sliding mechanics anchored by mini-implants in the anterior palate. As Drs. Wilmes, Schwarze, Vasudavan, and Drescher demonstrate, this facilitates closure of upper edentulous spaces when used either simultaneously or consecutively with clear aligner treatment. |

Aligner Treatment of Transposed Maxillary Canines and Lateral IncisorsALDO GIANCOTTI DDS, MS, ANDREA CONIGLIARO MD, DDS, GIANLUCA MAMPIERI DDS, MSAligner therapy can now be employed to accommodate forced eruption of transposed canines and lateral incisors, using auxiliaries such as elastomeric traction applied directly to the trays. The authors present a typical treatment involving a 13-year-old female patient. |

Orthognatic Surgery Combined with Clear Aligner TherapyTIANTONG LOU DMD, MSc, MARCO CAMINITI DDS, MEdDrs. Lou and Caminiti provide recommendations for surgical-orthodontic treatment with clear aligners, including a typical workflow for presurgical orthodontics, tips for prescribing aligners, effective methods of temporary maxillomandibular fixation, and techniques for postoperative management. |

CASE REPORTExtraction Treatment of Class II, Division 2 Malocclusion and Deep Overbite Using Aligners and Temporary Anchorage DevicesOSCAR MARIO ANTELO DDS, MSc, THIAGO MARTINS MEIRA DDS, MSc, HECTOR GARCÍA DDS, MSc, BERNARDO ELÍAS DDS, ORLANDO MOTOHIRO TANAKA DDS, PhDThe complex mechanics needed for incisor intrusion during closure of premolar extraction spaces may require additional anchorage. In this adult patient with a deep overbite, buccal miniscrews were placed to anchor Class II elastic traction during clear aligner therapy. |

PEARLSThe Hybrid Aligner Approach for Extrusion and Rotation of Posterior TeethMARIO PALONE DDS, MS, GIUSEPPE SICILIANI DDS, ALESSANDRO VERDUCCI, LUCA LOMBARDO DDSPartially erupted upper second molars are difficult to correct with clear aligners alone. This Pearl shows how posterior fixed appliance segments can be used in conjunction with aligners to derotate the second molars and promote posterior occlusion and settling. |
