Clear aligner treatment (wireless orthodontics) in children is an aesthetic and comfortable orthodontic method generally applied to children aged 7-12 during the mixed dentition period. Since both primary and permanent teeth are present during this period, jaw development can be guided, and more serious malocclusions that may occur later can be prevented. Treatment Process and Advantages: Age Group: Ideally applied between the ages of 6-11 or 7-12, when the transition from primary to permanent teeth occurs. Ease of Use: The aligners can be removed while eating or brushing, making it easier to maintain oral hygiene. Comfort: Minimizes the risk of metal irritation or sores like traditional braces; generally more readily accepted by children. Treatment Duration: Varies depending on the complexity of the case, but can take 3-7 months for simple cases and 12-18 months for moderate/severe cases. Wearing Time: For best results, the aligners should be worn for at least 20-22 hours a day.
