* Results : After orthodontic bonding , the upper and lower arches were
levelled and aligned over approximately 8 months . Following that , the patient was re-evaluated , and progress digital records taken to generate models for SureSmile planning . Once the rectangular custom wires were installed , the final root torque correction lasted another 8 months . After an active treatment time of approximately 1 year 4 months , the orthodontic appliances were removed . The patient maintains her Class I molar relationships , and ideal overjet and overbite . All our pre-treatment objectives were met and the results were very pleasing to all parties . Orthodontic retention was established with a mandibular fixed lingual retainer bonded from left to right canine , and a maxillary removable Essix-type retainer . * Follow-up : The patient resumed modeling activities , with reported increase in casting calls after braces were removed .
