Adult Class II Division 1 Malocclusion Treated with Elencia Aligners

Overview

Adult orthodontic treatment often requires balancing ideal treatment objectives with the patient’s preferences. This case demonstrates how Elencia Aligners successfully managed proclined maxillary anterior teeth and lip incompetence using an extraction-based treatment approach, resulting in improved dental alignment, facial harmony, and smile aesthetics while respecting the patient’s treatment goals.

Patient Concern

A 34-year-old female presented with proclined maxillary anterior teeth, an end-on molar relationship, and a Class II Division 1 malocclusion. Clinical examination also revealed lip incompetence, affecting facial aesthetics and smile harmony. The patient desired an aesthetic orthodontic treatment with Elencia Aligners and did not wish to undergo comprehensive correction of the molar relationship.

Treatment Approach

A customized digital treatment plan was developed using Elencia Aligners.

Considering the patient’s chief complaint and treatment expectations, an extraction-based treatment approach was selected to facilitate anterior retraction and improve facial soft tissue balance. Since the patient did not desire comprehensive correction of the molar relationship, treatment focused on reducing maxillary incisor proclination, improving lip competence, and enhancing smile aesthetics while maintaining functional occlusion.

Treatment was completed over 19 months using 74 customized clear aligners.

Teen Crowding Correction with Clear Aligners: A 9-Month Smile Transformation

Overview

Dental crowding is one of the most common orthodontic concerns among teenagers. When left untreated, crowded and rotated teeth can affect smile aesthetics, oral hygiene, and overall dental function. This case highlights how Elencia Aligners successfully corrected dental crowding, deep bite, and rotated proclined upper anterior teeth using a customized non-extraction treatment approach.

ADULT ORTHO – CLASS II DIV 2 Treatment with Elencia Aligners

Overview

Adult orthodontic treatment should be planned not only according to the clinical diagnosis but also according to the patient’s individual treatment goals.

This case involved a 35-year-old male patient with a Class II Division 2 malocclusion who was primarily concerned about the alignment of his anterior teeth.

The patient did not wish to undergo comprehensive correction of his existing molar relationship and preferred a relatively quick treatment focused on improving anterior alignment. A customised non-extraction clear aligner approach was therefore planned around these specific treatment goals.

Patient’s Concern

The patient was concerned about the irregular alignment of his anterior teeth and wanted to improve the appearance of his smile.

Being an adult patient, he preferred a focused and relatively efficient treatment approach rather than comprehensive orthodontic correction.

The patient specifically did not wish to undergo treatment aimed at correcting the existing molar relationship.

What is Class II DIV Correction?

Class II Division 1 correction is an orthodontic treatment used to correct a bite where the upper front teeth protrude significantly over the lower front teeth, often due to the upper jaw being positioned too far forward, the lower jaw being positioned too far back, or a combination of both. This condition, commonly known as an increased overjet, can affect the appearance of the smile, chewing function, and overall oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Class II correction with clear aligners?
Class II correction with clear aligners is an orthodontic treatment that improves an overbite or jaw-to-teeth relationship where the upper teeth are positioned ahead of the lower teeth. Clear aligners help gradually move teeth into a more balanced alignment.
A Class II bite can occur due to genetic factors, jaw growth patterns, protruding upper teeth, a smaller lower jaw, or a combination of dental and skeletal factors.
Yes. Clear aligners can effectively treat many Class II cases by gradually improving tooth position and bite alignment. The suitability of aligner treatment depends on the severity of the condition and individual dental needs.
Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of the case, but many cases can be completed within 12 to 24 months with proper aligner wear and regular orthodontic follow-ups.
Clear aligners are designed for comfort and are removable, allowing easier eating, brushing, and maintaining oral hygiene compared with traditional braces.
