Soft-tissue modification in Class III non-growing patients treated with clear aligners: a prospective clinical trial
The lower distalization supported by Class III elastics determined slight improvement of the facial aesthetic profile with no significant changes in the lower third of the face. A mild better projection of the upper lip was detected at the end of treatment, mainly due to the extensive use of Class III elastics.
