Consult with the patient using 3-D simulations 6. Accept the case 7. Receive the eCligner aligners and resin models (Figs. 48–50) Patient management Confirm the proper fit of the current aligner when the patient visits. If not fully fitting, the pa- tient needs more time to wear the current aligner (Figs. 51 & 52). Solution for lost/damaged aligners and relapse The eCligner System provides all the aligners and resin models. If the patient has lost or damaged aligners, simply use the resin models to create re- placement aligners. If the patient stops wearing the aligners, find the resin model that matches the current arch form and remake the required aligners to restart treatment.
