Clear Aligners: Second Edition — Fully Updated, Expanded, and Digitally Enhanced This fully revised second edition of the bestselling and authoritative text on clear aligner therapy delivers a complete update of all content, integrating the step-by-step protocols of the first edition with new digital planning and staging images, new clinical cases, and the latest technological advancements in aligner capabilities. A major highlight of this edition is the introduction of combined anteroposterior and vertical protocols for Class II and Class III treatment—an innovative concept that guides clinicians in formulating more effective, comprehensive treatment plans for diverse malocclusions. Two entirely new chapters—Class II growth modification and early interceptive treatment with maxillary expansion—reflect the significant evolution of clear aligner therapy in these areas since the first edition. With 32 clinical cases, each accompanied by an instructional video detailing digital treatment planning (including staging patterns, attachment design, and final occlusal goals), this edition provides an unparalleled visual and practical learning experience. The bibliography has also been fully updated to include the most current and influential research in aligner therapy. As patient demand for esthetic orthodontic solutions increases, and as clear aligners continue to expand their capabilities, the future of orthodontics is increasingly clear. Discover just how much can be achieved with modern aligner systems.
