Abstract

A 26-year-old previously healthy adult female had a chronically missing left maxillary first molar with a poor bite and associated maxillary sinus collapse. The molar was successfully moved anteriorly by more than 5 millimeters through the maxillary sinus by means of the Invisalign technique without any assistive tools. The gap was finally closed and the patient's occlusal and esthetic function was significantly improved. This case demonstrates the light force application characteristics and flexible design of the Invisalign technology for complex cases [1,2].
