Treatment narrative

Lucian wanted a predictable plan. We started with a written 3D prediction showing which movements were certain and which depended on compliance.

Treatment required 38 trays, attachments on six teeth, and micro-osteoperforations at month eight. We refined once with 14 additional trays.

Final outcome: 0.2mm residual crowding, 2mm overbite, retained with a bonded wire plus a clear overnight retainer for life.

  • 38 trays + 14 refinement
  • Micro-osteoperforation at month 8
  • Bonded wire retention
  • 17 months total
