The Clear Aligner can be used to correct tooth movement without involving extraction, surgery, and other adjunct orthopedic appliances. The Clear Aligner is a procedure that can be performed by either an orthodontist or a general dentist without computer simulation/calculation. Since the Clear Aligner is fabricated from the stone model for new appliance at each or every other appointment, it is readily available to change the treatment sequence throughout the course of the treatment. The patient can receive any necessary dental procedures with ease during the course of the treatment. The treatment can also be easily resumed even if the patient has not worn the aligners for a period of time. The purpose of this article is to report dental anterior crossbite correction with a series of Clear Aligners. The Clear Aligner could be used as an alternative in appropriate cases for those who are reluctant with conventional appliances.
透明矫治器可用于矫正牙齿移动，无需拔牙、手术及其他辅助正畸器械。透明矫治器是一种正畸医生或普通牙医均可施行的治疗方法，无需计算机模拟/计算。由于每次或每隔一次就诊时，透明矫治器都是根据新模型用石膏制作而成，因此在整个治疗过程中可以随时改变治疗顺序。在治疗过程中，患者可以轻松接受任何必要的牙科治疗。即使患者有一段时间未佩戴矫治器，治疗也可轻松恢复。本文旨在报告使用一系列透明矫治器矫正牙齿前牙反合的情况。对于那些不愿使用传统矫治器的患者，在适当情况下，透明矫治器可作为一种替代选择。
