Hybrid case by Dr Faye Goodyear

How would you treat this patient?

  • Age: 25
  • Class II division 1
  • Incisor relationship on a Class I skeletal pattern
  • Upper and lower crowding

Initial Situation

Why Dr. Faye Goodyear takes a hybrid approach:

  • More predictable having a fixed appliance in the lower arch
  • More aesthetic having aligners in the upper arch

“Due to slightly increased overbite and the position of the 33, I felt that fixed appliances in the lower arch would be more predictable. The patient's preference for a more aesthetic option in the upper arch combined with less difficult movements allowed for a combination of upper aligners and lower fixed appliances to be considered.”
– Dr. Faye Goodyear, Australia.
