This adult patient had jaw surgery as a teenager. Over time, continued jaw growth and an untreated tongue thrust habit affected the way the teeth came together.

Treatment: We used upper and lower clear aligners, myofunctional therapy to improve tongue function and resting posture, and crowns on the upper lateral incisors to improve the appearance and function of the smile.
