ABSTRACT

The scope of malocclusions that can be treated with clear aligners has been broadened by the rapid advancements in this field. Yet, extraction treatment with clear aligners is still considered challenging. In this chapter, the indications for extractions, the advantages of diagnostic evaluation and treatment planning with digital technologies, the key points to consider when planning the extraction treatments with clear aligners, the main differences with fixed appliance therapy, and finally how to detect and manage complications that may occur in the course of the treatment will be discussed. Evidence-based recommendations from recent studies will be presented to plan realistic and predictable tooth movements as well as to overcome the undesirable side effects associated with clear aligners.
