Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of non-extraction Clear Aligner therapy in patients with Class Ⅱ division 1 malocclusion. Methods: From January 2016 to January 2021, 34 patients who received non-extraction Clear Aligner therapy and with Class Ⅱ division 1 malocclusion in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected. Based on American Board of Orthodontics Objective Grading System, the orthodontic outcomes were evaluated. The lateral cephalograms were measured and analyzed. Results: Based on American Board of Orthodontics Objective Grading System, the passing rate was 55.88% and the possible passing rate was 97.06%. There were statistically significant decreases in U6-PP(mm) and U1-PP(°) after the treatment (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in measurements of SN-MP, SN-OP, S-Go/N-Me, and SN-PP (P>0.05). Conclusion: Non-extraction Clear Aligner therapy in patients with average-angle Class Ⅱ division 1 malocclusion could receive satisfactory results.
