Combining Clear Aligner Treatment With Bone Grafting for Comprehensive Care of Missing Teeth.

In cases of missing or damaged teeth, patients who elect a fixed restorative option often choose a bridge, which typically offers convenience, affordability, and fewer appointments than dental implants. Often, such patients may have mild to moderate malocclusion that requires some movement of abutment teeth to ensure an optimal esthetic result. Additionally, socket preservation is crucial to the success of restorative efforts. By offering patients clear aligner therapy combined with bone grafting using a unique collagen plug filled with non-ceramic bone graft crystals, the author demonstrates in two case presentations the ability to produce enhanced esthetic results when providing tooth replacement.
