Have you been looking to do an Invisalign case for a mixed dentition patient? In many scenarios, it can be difficult to work out how to approach a mixed dentition case, but this shouldn’t stop you from tackling patients with Invisalign MA. However, one important factor to keep in mind is that you must never pull baby teeth for these cases.

Don’t Pull Baby Teeth for Invisalign MA Cases!

In some scenarios, a patient may come in for an Invisalign MA case with baby teeth still posing a problem. These could be ankylosed baby teeth without a premolar underneath; alternatively, they may have a retained baby tooth.

Whatever the case might be, it’s integral not to pull these baby teeth when attempting Invisalign MA since you’ll only be able to get a retainer if the patient has a full set of teeth for anchorage. So, don’t fall into this trap, as it could prevent the patient from ever having Invisalign MA.
