Clear Aligner Technique

This second edition of the bestselling and authoritative text on clear aligners has been fully updated from start to finish, incorporating the step-by-step protocols of the first edition but including all new digital planning and staging images to reflect the latest software, new cases in every clinical chapter, and the latest advancements in technology and capabilities of clear aligners. In particular, the concept of combining anteroposterior protocols with vertical protocols for Class II and Class III treatment is introduced to assist clinicians in formulating treatment plans for different types of malocclusions. This edition also features brand-new chapters on Class II growth modification and early interceptive treatment with maxillary expansion, as clear aligners have developed extensively in these areas since the first edition was published. Boasting 32 clinical cases, this second edition includes a video for each case that explains the digital treatment plan design, including staging patterns, attachment design, and final occlusal plan. Finally, the bibliography has been updated to reflect the most recent research on clear aligner treatment.
