Managing a pediatric unilateral posterior Brodie bite and arch constriction with clear aligner therapy in the mixed dentition. This case explores how a pediatric-specific clear aligner system was used to successfully manage a patient presenting with a complete buccal (Brodie) crossbite on the left side and closing upper anterior spacing—two issues that, if left untreated, could have significant long-term consequences for arch and growth development and occlusal function.

Dr. Isaak Yelizar illustrates how he used Angel Aligner treatment plans with angelButtons to simplify complex cases. Angel Aligner with integrated angelButtons have transformed my approach to demanding cases. The angelButtons can be positioned on four to eight points on any tooth (Figure 1). With traditional hooks and bonded buttons, multidirectional movement is limited, and force is concentrated on the specific tooth to which the elastic is engaged.
