Case Studies

Real SmileTRU clear-aligner cases treated by clinicians worldwide — see what is achievable at every treatment level.

SMILETRU CLEAR ALIGNER SYSTEM

Treatment at Every Level

SmileTRU cases are planned across four levels of complexity — from a simple cosmetic reset of the anterior teeth to a full reset of both arches. Each clear positioner moves a tooth up to 0.3 mm and up to in angulation or torque, with the required space created by interproximal reduction (IPR) or by pre-treating the case with arch-developing appliances such as the A.L.F. or R-N Sagittal.

Level 1

Reset of the anterior teeth only — 6 trays per arch. Cosmetic alignment without disturbing the posterior occlusion.

Level 2

Reset from premolar to premolar — 12 trays per arch.

Level 3

Reset of the full maxillary and mandibular arch — 18 trays per arch.

Level 4

Reset of the full maxillary and mandibular arch — 24 trays per arch. May be pre-treated with appliances.

Featured Cases

A selection of completed SmileTRU cases and the clinicians who treated them.

Level 1

A simple Level 1 case. The 38-year-old patient was unhappy with the gap at the front of their smile. Treatment was completed in just 3 months.

Treating clinician: Dr Pieter Grobbelaar, Concordia Dental Care, UK

Level 1

This patient received SmileTRU as a birthday present from her husband — she didn’t know until the day of her appointment. Although a Level 1, it required 12 positioners for the amount of movement needed and took 6 months to complete.

Treating clinician: Dr Greg Clarke, Rotherholme Dental Practice, UK

Level 2

A Level 2 case. The 44-year-old patient was unhappy with the look of their teeth and tried not to show them when smiling. Completed in 6 months — a veneer was also placed on the upper right 2 — and the patient loves their new smile.

Treating clinician: Dr Pieter Grobbelaar, Concordia Dental Care, UK

Level 2

Another Level 2 case. The 42-year-old patient decided the time was right to get the smile they had always wanted. The case was completed in 6 months.

Treating clinician: Dr Pieter Grobbelaar, Concordia Dental Care, UK

Level 3

Note the beautiful arches and the closure of the anterior open bite. The 22-year-old patient presented complaining about an anterior open bite and was treated with 17 aligners.

Treating clinician: Dr Shintaro Tsuchiya, Japan
