He exhibited multiple gingival recessions type I up to 6\u00a0mm in depth, at least 2\u00a0mm of keratinized tissue throughout, and a thick scalloped gingival phenotype. Clear aligner SFOT was performed including buccal corticotomies and bone augmentation with demineralized allograft between the first molars on both arches, dental expansion, interproximal enamel reduction, and use of intermaxillary elastics. Progress of the aligners occurred every 3 days for the first 6 months; and every 5 days thereafter, for a total duration of 10.5 months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Clear aligner SFOT led to tooth alignment, Class I occlusion, and improvement in smile esthetics.

A surgical procedure called \u201csurgically facilitated orthodontic treatment\u201d (SFOT) with clear aligners instead of metal braces is a valuable treatment option for adults with receding gingiva and unfavorable tooth position. This report presents a 28\u2010year\u2010old male with severe tooth crowding and narrow tooth arches. He had several areas with thick, receding gingiva on the upper and lower jaws. The surgery involved the creation of bony cuts in between the roots, followed by bone grafting over the roots and cuts, on both jaws. The orthodontic treatment was executed with clear aligners and elastics. The patient was switching aligners every 3 days for the first 6 months and every 5 days thereafter. The total treatment duration was 10.5 months. Eventually, clear aligner SFOT led to the alignment of all teeth and improved the appearance of the smile. Receding gingiva was completely reversed on 50% of the teeth and improved by a mean of 81.6% (1\u20136\u00a0mm gain in gingiva). This report exhibits that this technique can be a valuable treatment approach for patients with multiple areas of receding gingiva, unfavorable tooth position, and crowding.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/cap.10324","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,9]],"date-time":"2025-01-09T10:09:10Z","timestamp":1736417350000},"page":"9-18","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Surgically facilitated orthodontics with clear aligners for severe malocclusion and gingival recessions"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7195-822X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elli Anna","family":"Kotsailidi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology Eastman Institute for Oral Health University of Rochester  Rochester New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lucy","family":"Johnson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology Eastman Institute for Oral Health University of Rochester  Rochester New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher","family":"Burns","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics Eastman Institute for Oral Health University of Rochester  Rochester New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2518-2766","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paul Emile","family":"Rossouw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics Eastman Institute for Oral Health University of Rochester  Rochester New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5356-4406","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dimitrios","family":"Michelogiannakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics Eastman Institute for Oral Health University of Rochester  Rochester New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jper.16\u20100671"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.1994.tb00278.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3290\/j.qi.b3931397"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1993.64.9.900"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1992.63.6.489"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jper.22\u20100167"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jper.22\u20100581"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jebdp.2019.05.012"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3290\/j.qi.b1492083"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2015.140376"},{"issue":"6","key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","first-page":"2868","article-title":"The prevalence of gingival recession among different types of malocclusion","volume":"8","author":"Menon GR","year":"2021","journal-title":"Int J Dentistry Oral Sci"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajodo.2021.08.022"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","first-page":"257","volume-title":"Gingiva and orthodontic treatment","author":"Krishnan V","year":"2007"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_10_15_1","first-page":"146","article-title":"Surgically facilitated orthodontic therapy: optimizing dentoalveolar bone and space appropriation for facially prioritized interdisciplinary dentofacial therapy","volume":"39","author":"Mandelaris GA","year":"2018","journal-title":"Compend Contin Educ Dent"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.sodo.2008.07.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.sodo.2015.06.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ejo\/cjz103"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cap.10116"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3290\/j.qi.a39225"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jper.17\u20100095"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.2011.01732.x"},{"issue":"6","key":"e_1_2_10_23_1","first-page":"589","article-title":"The simplified papilla preservation flap.
