“You shouldn't use aligners for Deep Bite cases”. FALSE!

I was joined by the Taheri brothers (kinda like the Mario Brothers, except they're not Italian Plumbers but rather Iranian Orthodontists) to unravel the intricacies of utilizing aligners and specific protocols for deep bite correction.

We discussed their protocols and the significance of bite ramps and understanding the correct selection of attachments.
