Orthodontic Treatment Using Invisalign First® in Pediatric Patients with Mild Skeletal Malocclusion: Case Reports
This case report explores the orthodontic treatment of pediatric patients with mild skeletal malocclusion using Invisalign First<sup>®</sup>. Two cases are presented: (1) a patient with upper incisor protrusion, deep bite, and skeletal Class II malocclusion; and (2) a patient with dental crowding and skeletal Class III malocclusion. Their treatment demonstrated the efficacy of Invisalign First<sup>®</sup> in achieving arch expansion, tooth alignment, space creation for erupting teeth, and skeletal malocclusion correction. The overall results were satisfactory; however, limitations in rotational and intrusive movements, as well as skeletal improvements, were observed. Careful treatment planning, including overcorrection and patient selection, is essential for achieving optimal outcomes.
