Porcelain rehabilitation of the maxillary arch following clear aligner orthodontic treatment
Gary O'NeillThis case report outlines a comprehensive pre-operative assessment followed by clear aligner orthodontic treatment and the placement of porcelain veneer restorations at the maxillary arch. The patient sought the replacement of existing direct and indirect restorations. Clear aligner treatment, using the Invisalign system (Align Technology, AZ, USA), was administered over 21 weeks to address moderate contact point displacement in the anterior sextants. Subsequently, minimally invasive porcelain veneers were provided anteriorly, alongside posterior cuspal coverage restorations.
