We are delighted to share a milestone that speaks to Dr. Siju George's standing not just as a clinician, but as a contributor to the global body of orthodontic knowledge. Dr. George has been selected as one of 30 leading aligner experts worldwide to contribute a clinical case to the Atlas of Aligner Treatment and Planning: A Case-Based Approach — published by Elsevier, one of the most respected names in medical and scientific publishing.
About the Book
Atlas of Aligner Treatment and Planning: A Case-Based Approach offers a step-by-step, example-based approach to aligner treatment for orthodontists and general dentists, addressing the full scope of patient care — from diagnostics and treatment planning to virtual tool utilisation and overcoming clinical challenges. Featuring approximately 3,300 full-colour clinical photographs, radiographs, and illustrations, it is set to become an essential reference for practitioners worldwide.
Edited by three of the most respected names in the field:
- Prof. Ravindra Nanda — Professor Emeritus of Orthodontics, University of Connecticut. Pioneering innovator whose research spans adolescent and adult orthodontics, craniofacial orthopedics, and biomechanics.
- Dr. Tommaso Castroflorio — Researcher and professor at the University of Torino Dental School. President-elect of the European Aligner Society.
- Dr. Francesco Garino — Orthodontist who pioneered aligner orthodontics in Europe, contributing to numerous clinical trials.
The book features 50 detailed cases from 30 of the world's leading aligner experts and is published by Elsevier. It is currently open for pre-order ahead of its December 2025 release.
Dr. George's Contribution: A Complex Case, Successfully Treated
Dr. George's chapter tackles one of orthodontics' most demanding presentations — a Class III malocclusion treated non-surgically using clear aligners in a 15-year-old patient.
Class III malocclusions are among the most complex cases in orthodontics. They often involve a jaw relationship where the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth — and have traditionally required surgical intervention to correct. For this patient, Dr. George chose a camouflage approach: achieving excellent, lasting outcomes through aligner therapy alone, avoiding surgery entirely.
The treatment involved careful arch development, precise tooth movement, and the patient's consistent cooperation with aligners and elastics. The result: a solid, bilateral Class I occlusion, a corrected midline, resolved crowding, and a significantly improved facial profile — transforming both appearance and confidence without a single surgical procedure.
It is exactly the kind of case that defines what modern aligner orthodontics can achieve in the right hands.
What This Means for You as a Patient
When your orthodontist's clinical work is selected for an Elsevier medical textbook — studied by practitioners across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and North America — it means something very specific: the standard of care you are receiving has been validated at the highest level of the profession.
For patients considering Invisalign or clear aligner treatment, particularly those who have been told their case is complex or may require surgery, this is a powerful reminder that the right expertise genuinely changes what is possible.

"Grateful to be part of this global collaboration — thank you to all my mentors, peers, and patients who continue to inspire me."
