Adolescent patients Treatment with eCligner aligners is possible with children under 14 years of age for the purpose of interceptive orthodontic treatment. The eCligner System can be used for space maintenance, space creation, eruption guidance, and growth control. Children wear eCligner aligners for only 8–10 hours daily and only at night. Thus, the eCligner System does not disrupt daily routines and takes advantage of peak growth hormone secretion during the mid- nighthoursformaximumeffectiveness(Figs.20&21). eCligner applications The eCligner System is effective for minor tooth movement, crowding and spacing, and for prosthodontic or periodontal treatment. It is also effective for retaining the arch after orthodontic treatment. Examples of eClinger applications: 1. Minor crowding (Figs. 22–29) 2. Spacing (Figs. 30 & 31) 3. Intrusion (Figs. 32 & 33) 4.
