Case Study:

The journey back to a confident smile
In just 4.5 months, Ms. F’s front teeth were brought into contact, and the visible spaces between them were closed.
Case Study:
The journey back to a confident smile
Past regrets, new beginnings
Five years after completing her first Invisalign treatment, Ms. F found herself facing a common but frustrating problem—orthodontic relapse. Like many patients, she had stopped consistently wearing her retainers. After three years without retention, her smile began to shift. Gaps reappeared, and a noticeable anterior open bite on the left-hand side became her biggest concern, not just cosmetically, but functionally.
The relapse left Ms. F feeling self-conscious and uncertain. She even began exploring composite bonding as a quick fix to close the spaces. But deep down, she wasn’t looking for a shortcut—she wanted a natural, long-term solution that would restore her smile’s alignment, not just cover up the problem.
Case overview
Treatment: Invisalign clear aligners
Duration: 4.5 months
Key concerns: Anterior open bite (LHS), visible gaps, relapse after retainer non-use
Outcome: Fully corrected bite and spacing, no composite bonding required
Precisely planned, no surprises
At Simply Teeth, Ms. F’s consultation included an in-depth review with ClinCheck 3D visualisation—Invisalign’s advanced digital tool that maps out every step of the treatment. This interactive simulation allowed her to see a precise preview of how her smile would transform, even before starting.
Having a clear visual of her potential outcome gave Ms. F the clarity and confidence she needed to move forward. This time, she approached treatment with renewed motivation and a clear plan for long-term retention, determined to make her second journey a lasting success.
Bespoke Invisalign solution
Although Ms. F experienced a relapse, her case remained well-suited for clear aligner therapy. Our personalised Invisalign plan was designed to:
- Close the visible gaps
- Correct the anterior open bite on the left side
- Restore proper bite function and alignment
- Avoid composite bonding
With consistent aligner wear and excellent compliance, Ms. F achieved remarkable results in just 4.5 months. Her teeth were gently and precisely guided back into alignment, without requiring any restorative work.
Thanks to her dedication, the treatment progressed smoothly, efficiently, and comfortably, giving her the natural-looking results she had hoped for.
Keeping her Invisalign crystal clear
To maintain her aligners in pristine condition throughout treatment, Ms. F invested in a Dental Pod—a professional-grade ultrasonic cleaner available at Simply Teeth. This compact yet powerful device made it easy to keep her aligners clean, clear, and free from buildup, ensuring a more hygienic and comfortable experience each day.
Not only did it help preserve the clarity of her aligners, but it also kept her smile feeling fresh and confident throughout.
A triple win: Function, beauty, and confidence
Ms. F’s smile transformation was as empowering as it was effective. In less than five months:
- ✔ Her anterior open bite was fully corrected
- ✔ Gaps were closed with precision and symmetry
- ✔ Her smile became more balanced, functional, and naturally radiant
- ✔ She avoided unnecessary cosmetic bonding, preserving the integrity of her natural teeth
Most importantly, this journey gave her more than just a beautiful smile—it gave her renewed confidence and a deeper appreciation for long-term care. She’s now fully committed to wearing her retainers regularly to protect her results and maintain her smile for years to come.

A word to those considering Invisalign
If you’ve previously undergone Invisalign and experienced a relapse—or if you’re noticing concerns like spacing, bite changes, or general misalignment—you’re not alone. It’s common for teeth to shift over time, especially when wearing a retainer inconsistently.
The good news is that, in many cases, clear aligner treatment can help improve alignment and support overall oral health and function. Ms. F’s case is a great example of how a personalised treatment plan—guided by professional advice—can address specific concerns effectively.
Everyone’s smile is different, and outcomes vary, so it’s important to have a thorough consultation to understand what’s possible for your individual situation.
