Justin: Aligner Delivery

Justin

Chief Complaint:

Crowding of front teeth


Let’s use Justin to summarize the delivery steps and attachment placement techniques we outlined for our other patients, Sheena and Stephanie. In Justin’s case we had to execute treatment to remove a retained deciduous tooth, create a surgical guide for implant fixture placement and place the actual implant fixture. I will outline the construction of the surgical guide and implant placement in a separate blog entry.
