Would it be possible to treat crowding before providing bridge to replace missing LR56?

Q.

Hello Doctor Tif Quereshi. Thanks you for taking the time to read my email.hi i am currently doing my VT in Blackpool. I attended your talk on the inman aligner in mancheser BDA conference last month. It was a brilliant and inspiring talk and i hope to learn more about inman aligner.

i have a question. Can the aligner only be used on patients with full dentition? I have a patient with missing lower LR56. She has a class 1 incisor relatonship. She is concerned about the moderate crowding on her lower anteriors. I am wondering if it will be possible to treat the crowding before providing her with a bridge to replace the missing LR56.

Thank you for your help.

hello  and thank you for your question. to answer you, yes it definitely can- the technician will create an acrylic block to act as a replacement and may place a crib on the 4 or 7
hope this helps and glad you enjoyed the lecture. hope that helps you.  tif
