Category Australasian Dentist 85 CASE 1 This first case is a female in her 20s wanting to improve her smile. She has a traumatic anterior cross bite with dentinal- enamel fractures on her 11, 21, 31, 41. She had received a plan elsewhere where veneers were her only option. I decided to use the clear aligner software to demonstrate what was possible and then demonstrate her restorative options using VISS™. Furthermore, to be transparent with the patient we decided to simulate the restorative solution pre clear aligners to assist and educate the patient what it would look like but feel like. This powerful visualisation tool creates the best-informed consent for the patient and protects the clinician by demonstrating the true differences and consequences of both scenarios and risks. The patient can see the difference in how much tooth preparation is warranted and therefore the consequences and risk associated with it. This approach trumps any verbal consent or generic brochure available. The patient, based on the VISS™ decided to do Invisalign treatment which lasted 10 months, then her choice of direct or indirect restoration was rediscussed and decided on. 1.
