This case report introduces a treatment in mandibular prognathism correction by combining the surgery-first (SF) approach and clear aligners. An intraoral scanner (TRIOS 3, 3Shape, Copenhagen, Denmark) and a virtual setup program (OrthoAnalyzer, 3Shape) were used for treatment simulation. All clear aligners were fabricated using a 3-dimensional printer. The total treatment was completed within 3 months after surgery. An immediate improvement of the facial profile was obtained using the SF approach, and rapid and esthetic tooth movement was achieved using clear aligners. This case report demonstrated that the combination of the SF approach and clear aligners could be a patient-oriented surgical-orthodontic treatment method.
本病例报告介绍了一种通过联合手术优先（SF）方法和透明矫治器来矫治下颌前突的治疗方法。使用口内扫描仪（TRIOS 3，3Shape，丹麦哥本哈根）和虚拟排牙程序（OrthoAnalyzer，3Shape）进行治疗模拟。所有透明矫治器均使用三维打印机制作。术后3个月内完成了整个治疗。采用SF方法面部轮廓立即得到改善，使用透明矫治器实现了快速且美观的牙齿移动。本病例报告表明，SF方法与透明矫治器相结合可能是一种以患者为导向的外科正畸治疗方法。
