Adult Class II Malocclusion Cases Treated with Smartee S8-SGTB Published in JAO
The development of clear aligner technologies has made this possible. The Smartee S8-SGTB appliance combines the principles of conventional sagittal guidance Twin-Block with the convenience of a clear aligner system, offering a discreet, patient-friendly, and more accurate alternative for correcting Class II malocclusions with Smartee's digitalized solution.
For the design, the S8-SGTB appliance has two components: one for the upper maxillary arch and one for the lower mandibular arch. The upper aligner includes occlusal planes covering the posterior teeth on both sides, while the lower aligner features occlusal planes that cover the area around the first premolars. The two occlusal planes meet at a 70-degree angle, a locking feature that enhances stability and provides secure support during mandibular advancement.
The case report demonstrates the application of the S8-SGTB clear aligner system to treat three adult patients, ages 23 to 30, with varying subtypes of Class II malocclusion. The treatment protocol synchronized mandibular advancement with dental alignment, significantly enhancing treatment efficiency. Each patient showed noticeable improvements in jaw harmony and smile aesthetics, with treatment durations ranging from 13 to 20 months.
The report was authored by , Medical Director at Smartee. He said, "I believe the innovative and clinically actionable nature of the system—from diagnosis to treatment protocol—was what truly impressed the reviewers. This solution has demonstrated strong clinical efficacy across a wide range of patients. In addition to successful outcomes among Asian patients, our ongoing collaborations with European orthodontists have further validated the adaptability of the S8-SGTB system across various craniofacial characteristics and aesthetic expectations."
