Popis: Relevance. Malocclusion correction in children very frequently requires several orthodontic appliances throughout the entire treatment period. The high prevalence of dental abnormalities in childhood determines the issue's relevance.Clinical cases' description. The article presents summaries from the records of the patients who presented for orthodontic care with malocclusion complicated by the forced position of the lower jaw. The authors implemented a two-phase orthodontic treatment protocol and achieved acceptable aesthetic and functional results.Conclusion. Laboratory-made plates with occlusal pads in the first phase of treatment of patients with mixed dentition contributes to the normalization of the lower jaw position and the alignment of the occlusal plane. In the second phase of orthodontic treatment, a standard silicone aligner allows for the improvement of dental arch relationship in the vertical, sagittal and transversal planes, normalization of dental arch form, and the correction of displaced teeth.
