How we succeed growing patients treatment using clear aligner

Bone age, Mandibular growth potential, and the severity of malocclusion will determine the therapeutic strategy for growing patients. Indeed, it is the initial orthodontic diagnosis that will determine whether we will correct the class II by a mandibular growth activator, by molar distalization or by dentoalveolar effect. Recently, the integration of the mandibular advancement system into the invisalign aligners has allowed to create a new generation of Mandibular activators. It has many advantages over other activator systems; it allows teeth alignment simultaneously of mandibular activation with perfect vertical control and good stability of the position of the lower incisors.

During this presentation several growing patients with class II malocclusion will be discussed and the mechanics used with the aligners will be detailed.
