It is possible to use many tools and ways to treat each case individually today, performing an inconspicuous, safe, comfortable orthodontic treatment and in a shorter time. The present work describes a hybrid technique, in which two types of orthodontic appliances were used in the same case, 3D-BOT and aligners, in which the patient had aesthetic complaints and presented superior and inferior crowding. The case has been started with the 3D-BOT and after 13 consultations the treatment was completed with aligners from the company MYALIGNER, using 4 upper and lower plates. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of hybrid orthodontics, providing comfort, aesthetics and optimizing treatment time.
