Correcting Severe Scissor Bites in Second Molars with a Digital Surgical Guide for Miniscrew Placement and In-House Directly Printed Clear Aligners: A Case Report

Introduction: Correcting scissor bites in second molars is challenging in orthodontics due to their complex anatomical location and related biomechanical demands. Recent digital advances, including guided miniscrew insertion and direct aligner printing, offer enhanced precision and efficiency. Case Report: This manuscript presents a case report in which these advanced techniques were used to correct a unilateral scissor bite in the second molars. The results indicate that the treatment is effective, provides various benefits for patients, and reveals some potential drawbacks of these new methods. Discussion: The treatment proved effective, provided patient-centered benefits, and revealed practical insights into both the strengths and potential limitations of adopting digitally assisted approaches.
