Sumario:The aim of this study was to show a case of a Class III subdivision adult patient treated with clear aligners (CA) and the extraction of a lower bicuspid. A 19-year-old male with a class III canine and molar relationship on the right side and a deviation of lower dental midline to the left asked for an aesthetic treatment. He refused orthognathic surgical procedures, so he was offered a camouflage orthodontic treatment with the extraction of lower right first premolar to achieve a canine Class I relationship and to center the lower midline. The treatment was performed with clear aligners and the use of Class III elastics to maintain distal anchorage on the right side during the canine distalization. At the end of the treatment, the occlusal objectives were achieved.
