Clinical limitations of invisible orthodontics and related responsibilities: a case report
Invisible orthodontics, primarily represented by clear aligners, has introduced an aesthetic and minimally invasive approach to managing malocclusions. However, complex cases present significant challenges that require careful planning and strict clinical control to achieve optimal results. This report describes three clinical instances in which the exclusive use of clear aligners allowed for addressing complex orthodontic issues. The clinician must take responsibility for surpassing the limits suggested by the technicians who virtually design the clinical case, customizing the treatment to ensure optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.
