Children and Mixed Dentition

Some clear aligner systems are designed for the mixed dentition stage, when a mix of baby and permanent teeth is present; current approaches are increasingly used in this age range, though predictability can vary by case.

Is There an Upper Age Limit?

Chronological age itself is generally not a barrier; periodontal health and the condition of supporting tissues are the relevant factors.

What Matters More Than Age

Treatment suitability depends more on dental development, periodontal health, the type of tooth movement required and the patient's ability to follow wear instructions than on chronological age alone.
