Clear Aligners

Bys: Edward Giftson Noah, B., Milling Tania, S. D., Veerasankar, S.

Clear aligner therapy (CAT) has become a widely accepted form of orthodontic treatment, and among the various factors that influence the effectiveness of clear aligners, the material used in their fabrication plays a crucial role. Advances in the chemistry of aligner materials have the potential to significantly transform the therapeutic applications of CAT. Without these advancements, the inherent biomechanical limitations of CAT could hinder its progress, causing clear aligners to underperform compared to traditional fixed orthodontic appliances. Clear aligners offer advantages over fixed appliances, including improved patient comfort and aesthetics. Treatment with clear aligners has also been associated with better Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) ratings compared to conventional labially placed metal fixed appliances.
