Guidelines for Cases
To ensure the Case Gallery represents the variety and quality of cases that can be treated with ClearCorrect aligners, we have established some basic guidelines for publication.
Let's review each of these guidelines in detail.
Clinical Guidelines
- Oral Health: The case should clearly demonstrate an improvement or maintenance of oral health following clear aligner treatment.
- Gingival Health: The finalized case should show the absence of gingival issues and the presence of adequate gum health.
- Caries Assessment: There should be no evidence of untreated caries, demonstrating proper oral hygiene and preventive care in the final case outcome.
Aesthetics
- Smile Harmony: The case should exhibit ideal overall smile harmony, considering factors such as tooth alignment, symmetry, and proportionality.
- Anatomic Harmony: The case results should achieve anatomic harmony, ensuring that all parts of the masticatory system are in structural equilibrium post-treatment.
Function and Alignment
- Tooth Positioning: The case should demonstrate proper alignment and occlusion of individual teeth.
- Alignment: The case should have proper occlusion and functional bite alignment between the upper and lower arches.
- Midline Alignment: The midline should be properly aligned for ideal symmetry and aesthetic appeal.
- Post-treatment: The bite should be balanced, with back teeth supporting function and front teeth guiding movements without interferences.
- Tooth Positioning Maintenance: The case should demonstrate the proper final positioning of the teeth, with retention planned to prevent relapse.
Photos and Records
- Analyze Photos: Clinical photographs must be high-quality, standardized, and captured from all required intraoral and extraoral perspectives. Pre-treatment and post-treatment images are essential to document case progression and to allow accurate clinical evaluation of outcomes.
- Radiographs: Panoramic and cephalometric radiographs should be submitted when clinically relevant. These records provide critical diagnostic information, support treatment planning, and serve as objective evidence of skeletal and dental changes achieved through aligner therapy.
Case Information Accuracy
- All submitted clinical information must be complete, consistent, and aligned with the photographic and radiographic records.
- Each case must clearly demonstrate that the patient’s chief complaint has been resolved in the documented outcomes.
Clinical Takeaways
- Each case should include key clinical insights, highlighting relevant decisions, challenges, and outcomes that can support peer learning and clinical practice.
Conclusion
The Case Gallery serves as a platform to showcase clinical cases treated with ClearCorrect aligners, highlighting successful outcomes and treatment approaches. By adhering to our submission guidelines, we ensure the quality and educational value of each featured case, contributing to the advancement and sharing of best practices in orthodontic care.
