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.

Abstract

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.
