    The Angel Aligner A6 Concept in Clinical Practice – Mandibular Protrusion in Growing Class II Patients 


    The Angel Aligner A6 concept combines growth modulation in skeletal discrepancies with the simultaneous correction of dental malocclusions, which in many cases may help avoid a conventional two-phase treatment approach. 


    This lecture focuses on the clinical implementation in growing patients with a Class II skeletal relationship. Key aspects include case selection and growth assessment, digital setup and staging, wear protocols, as well as clinical monitoring and refinement strategies. It further demonstrates how targeted adjustments can help achieve treatment objectives, along with practical tips that have proven useful during routine clinical check-ups. 


    Typical challenges such as uncontrolled tooth tipping, incomplete leveling, and posterior open bites are discussed, together with evidence-based solutions and biomechanical control strategies. 


    The aim of the presentation is to enhance confidence in the use of the A6 concept and to highlight its potential for efficient application in everyday clinical practice.
