Clear aligners are considered as one of the most comfortable substitute to fixed orthodontic therapy. It has gained much popularity recently among dentists as well as patients. Researchers are still in progress to understand and improve the functionality of clear aligners. It is widely been used in the correction of malocclusion in permanent dentition but more clarity is required in treatment of mixed dentition. With the limited literature available on the use of clear aligners in mixed dentition, this narrative review aimed to discuss the principles of clear aligner treatments in the dynamic occlusion of children.
