ABSTRACT
This study reports the case of a female patient aged 32 affected by an open bite with skeletal class III. She had never been treated due to the fear of any surgical solution and multiple concerns about wearing fixed appliances that may negatively impact her life quality. A non-extraction treatment with clear aligner (CA) was done. The aim of this case report was to describe this orthodontic treatment focusing on the diagnosis and the possibility of improving the biomechanics using CA.
