BACKGROUND
Clear aligners have been widely used to treat malocclusions from crowding, extraction cases to orthodontic-orthognathic cases, and practitioners are exploring the border of it. For the first time, clear aligners were used to early intervene anterior cross-bite and facial asymmetry.
CASE SUMMARY
This case report described a four-year-old child presented with anterior cross-bite and facial asymmetry associated with functional mandibular shift, who had undergone a failed treatment with conventional appliances. The total treatment time was 18 weeks, and a stable outcome was obtained.
CONCLUSION
The increasing need in early treatment highlights the need for clinicians to thoroughly investigate for the patient regarding clinical manifestation as well as patient compliance. We hope that our case will be contemplated by clinicians when seeking for treatment alternatives.

病例总结
本病例报告描述了一名4岁儿童，患有前牙反颌和与功能性下颌偏斜相关的面部不对称，其接受传统矫治器治疗失败。总治疗时间为18周，并获得了稳定的治疗效果。
结论
早期治疗需求的增加凸显了临床医生对患者临床表现及患者依从性进行全面调查的必要性。我们希望临床医生在寻求治疗方案时能考虑我们的病例。
