Clear aligner treatment with orthognathic surgery

Abstract

Clear aligner therapy offers an aesthetic alternative to traditional braces and, when combined with orthognathic surgery, enhances treatment outcomes for complex skeletal cases. This paper outlines the authors’ protocols for integrating aligners with surgery and presents three case reviews using different aligner systems. The cases demonstrate the role of aligners in pre-surgical decompensation, intra-operative management, and post-surgical finishing.
