This study will examine shortened treatment wear time for patients with mixed dentition using sequential dental aligners. Using the existing AirFlex aligner design that patients with permanent dentition use, it may be possible to reduce the wear time and still provide dental realignment in an adequate treatment period for patients with mixed dentition. The Airflex aligner will be tested for a 9-12-hour patient wear time.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
The primary endpoint will assess the tooth movements (torque, extrusion, rotation, translation, intrusions, and tipping), ensuring that final dentition is within 0.3 mm of the intended position.
Timeframe: 16 weeks
