ABSTRACT

Orthodontic relapse is a common challenge following fixed appliance therapy, often necessitating retreatment to restore proper alignment and occlusion. This case report presents the successful management of a relapse case, demonstrating the effectiveness of clear aligner therapy in achieving precise tooth movement while maintaining patient comfort and aesthetics. A 25-year-old male with mild dental crowding and post-orthodontic relapse underwent non-extraction treatment involving interproximal reduction (IPR), strategic attachment placement, and sequential aligner wear over a seven-month period. The patient exhibited excellent compliance, leading to successful correction of the malalignment and establishment of a stable, functional occlusion. Periodontal health was closely monitored and maintained throughout treatment, with no adverse effects observed. The results highlight the benefits of clear aligners in orthodontic retreatment, offering a minimally invasive, patient-friendly, and predictable approach to correcting relapse cases while ensuring long-term stability through proper retention protocols.
