This is a common question we’re asked by dentists: Can Smilelign clear aligners be used for mixed dentition cases? In this video, we explain how dentists should think about this in practice.

So obviously we’re dealing with adult patients that have mixed dentition and a question we’re often asked is can these people be suitable for Smilelign Clear aligner treatment? Now obviously there’s no blanket yes or no, this. It would be case specific. But I can say for the vast majority of adults, yes, we can bear that in mind. We just need to know where crowns, bridges, etcetera, are, and we need to know if we can plan around those.
