In recent years, increasing numbers of adult patients have sought orthodontic treatment1 and expressed a desire for esthetic and comfortable alternatives to conventional fixed appliances. The transparency of the clear aligner enhances its esthetic appeal for those adult patients who are averse to wearing conventional labial fixed orthodontic appliances. Orthodontists should gain significant clinical experience in the treatment of mild malocclusions before attempting to treat more complex cases. One needs to understand that aligners are only an appliance, and the technique for working with it is continually being developed and honed. Refinement, adjustment at each appointment, and rebooting are all a part of the technique, and everything depends on the orthodontist's skill just as with patient with any fixed appliance.
