Dentistry
Orthodontics
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

Condylar hyperplasia (CH) is a unilateral mandibular malformation affecting condylar size and morphology.
Etiology of CH is debated, with growth occurring in all three spatial planes.
High condylectomy is a preferred treatment, with technological advancements simplifying procedures and improving outcomes.

Observation:

A 40-year-old female presented with relapsed unilateral CH, requiring a second surgical intervention.
Orthodontic treatment was planned using clear aligners due to the patient's history and need for reduced appliance force.

Findings:

The case demonstrates the successful application of clear aligners in managing a complex, relapsed unilateral CH case post-surgery.
This approach aimed to minimize patient discomfort and reduce applied forces on teeth.

Implications:

Clear aligner therapy is a viable and effective orthodontic option for patients with relapsed condylar hyperplasia.
Innovations in surgical and orthodontic technology enhance treatment efficacy and patient experience for CH management.
