Dystrophic EB (DEB) is caused by mutations in the gene coding for type VII collagen. Among the most frequent oral manifestations in Recessive DEB (RDEB) are oral ulcers and blisters, absence of tongue papillae and palatal rugae, ankyloglossia, oral vestibule obliteration, and microstomia. The following report describes a modified impression technique used in a patient with severe RDEB and severe microstomia to obtain models for orthodontic treatment with aligners.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Case Report<\/jats:title><jats:p>A 25\u2010year\u2010old female patient with severe RDEB was referred for orthodontic treatment. Severe microstomia (8 mm), hindered the use of conventional trays or intraoral scanners to design the aligners. Therefore, a contracture release surgery in combination with a modified impression technique was performed to obtain an optimal impression and subsequent aligners for orthodontic treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This case presents an alternative strategy to provide orthodontic treatment with aligners in patients with severe microstomia due to severe RDEB. Reports of orthodontic treatment in people living with EB, especially in RDEB, are still rare, with few publications about fixed braces, early teeth extraction and removable devices, and none using aligners. Most of the impression techniques reported are aimed at oral rehabilitation. The multidisciplinary approach and impression technique reported should broaden the alternatives of orthodontic techniques provided to patients with EB and severe microstomia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This article describes an oral contracture release surgery and modified impression technique for obtaining good
