Abstract:

The clear aligner treatment in the last years has been increasing its relevance and use. The use of aligners to treat malocclusion has had a remarkable surge in the last decades, a growing interest has been reported for such methods of invisible orthodontics, especially among adult patients. Clear aligners are orthodontic devices that use elastic thermoplastic material, applying pressure to the teeth to move into the aligner’s position, being an alternative to dental braces. They are esthetic, efficient, and comfortable compared to a traditional fixed appliance for mild-to-moderate malocclusio

Abstract:

As an innovative approach to overcome the rate-limiting staging of conventional aligners, using shape memory polymers (SMPs) as aligners’ materials was investigated in this in vitro study. The ability of SMPs to shape recover and consequently move tooth, upon appropriate stimuli, was evaluated on a typodont model before clinical application. The study design was to achieve 1.9 mm correction movement of an upper central incisor by one aligner after multiple steps/activation. A custom-made aligned typodont model with a movable upper central incisor was scanned. Using an orthodontic software and

Abstract : In place of traditional braces for orthodontic treatment, clear aligners are becoming more and more popular because of their aesthetic appeal and convenience. Nonetheless, many patients report experiencing pain and discomfort, particularly during the initial adjustment period or when switching to a new set of aligners. The aligners’ pressure, which shifts teeth into their desired positions, primarily causes this discomfort. Research shows that pain levels usually peak within the first 24 to 48 hours after starting a new aligner and gradually subside over time. Various factors,

Abstract:

The digital clear aligner is widely used due to the convenience and efficiency of simultaneously manufacturing the entire aligner used in treatment with a single setup. However, due to the characteristics of clear aligners, which make it difficult to effectively transmit orthodontic force to the teeth compared to traditional brackets, the teeth do not move as planned, resulting in repeated refinements and increased treatment periods. The following measures have been proposed to solve these problems:1. Partial production of Clear aligner: Manufacturing the entire aligner not all at once but in

They offer a more discreet alternative to traditional braces, as they are difficult to notice when worn. Along with that it provides an excellent substitute in the era of three-dimensional treatment planning. Clear aligners gradually exert gentle forces on the teeth, moving them incrementally until they reach the desired alignment.

Abstract:

The widespread adoption of clear aligners in orthodontic treatments in recent years has necessitated a more precise examination of the mechanical properties of the devices currently available in orthodontics. Recent studies indicate that aligners, when exposed to the forces exerted during swallowing, undergo fatigue-like phenomena, leading to chip formation and cracks. The cumulative damage results in a compromised fit between the tooth and aligner, which is crucial for the effective execution of orthodontic treatment. Additionally, the formation of chips poses a potential risk to patients, as

Currently, in the application of molar distalization with clear aligners by orthodontic professionals, it becomes feasible to circumvent the necessity for tooth extraction or TADs in numerous cases that initially present as markedly crowded.

Abstract:

Purpose Acoustic measurement of speech sounds requires first segmenting the speech signal into relevant units (words, phones, etc.). Manual segmentation is cumbersome and time consuming. Forced-alignment algorithms automate this process by aligning a transcript and a speech sample. We compared the phoneme-level alignment performance of five available forced-alignment algorithms on a corpus of child speech. Our goal was to document aligner performance for child speech researchers. Method The child speech sample included 42 children between 3 and 6 years of age. The corpus was force-aligned usin

Abstract:

Orthodontic therapy using aligners is a modern treatment option among adult patients. In order to have an optimal control of the orthodontic resuslts, there is a need for knowing the deformation values that can appear in each type of aligner, the optimal thickness values of the appliances and the needed number of aligners for each case. The deformation values for a 0.2 mm repositioned lower central incisor were measured with the use of some strain gauges applied at this level, after a manual set-up was manufactured. Different orthodontic forces were applied on each aligner in order to compare

Abstract:

Clear aligners have transformed orthodontic care by providing an aesthetic, removable alternative to traditional braces. However, their significant environmental footprint, contributing to approximately 15,000 tons of plastic waste annually, poses a critical challenge. To address this issue, advancements in 4D printing have introduced “smart” aligners with shape memory properties, enabling reshaping and reducing the number of aligners required per treatment. This study focuses on ClearX aligners, an innovative 4D-printed solution aimed at extending usage duration and minimizing environmental i

Background. Over the past few years, there has been a discernible surge in the demand for orthodontic treatments involving clear aligners. Although orthodontists have long held expertise in offering braces treatments, the advent of clear aligners has put out the curiosity of general dental practitioners. This study is thus centered on the assessment of general dentists' knowledge, attitudes, and approaches in incorporating clear aligners in their practice. Materials and methods.

Abstract:

It is difficult to find research papers collecting comparative results about characterization studies of clear aligners. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to provide the first comparative analysis of most commercial clear aligners, in terms of their stability towards intra-oral staining agents, their physicochemical and optical properties, as well as their water absorption behavior. Five types of aligners, characterized by different techniques, are considered: Erkodur, Essix Plastic, Ghost Aligner, Zendura, and Invisalign. The obtained results show that clear aligners are made up of PETG, se

Abstract:

With the development of new materials related to clear aligners, the physical properties are improving, and the clinical performance of the devices is expected to improve. Clear aligners require constant, controlled force on the teeth to achieve the desired tooth movement. However, unlike superelastic wires for orthodontic treatment, clear aligner materials are characterized by significant short-term or long-term stress relaxation after installation of the device. In addition, clear aligners are a complex manufacturing process that requires creating a tooth model and trimming the aligners, and

Abstract:

The increase in awareness of optimal esthetics and the orthodontic treatment demand from adults has raised the demand for a more enhanced orthodontic treatment technique. Clear aligners are an alternative to conventional orthodontic braces and are manufactured to help guide teeth into their ideal position. Identical to braces, clear aligners use a gradual force for an organized tooth movement, but without metal wires or brackets. The aligners are made of a strong plastic material and are fabricated to fit each individual's mouth. Improved oral hygiene, discrete look, comfort and protection

Patients seeking orthodontic treatment often prioritize aesthetics, and aesthetics play a significant role in orthodontic care. Researchers have developed a range of options, such as ceramic or composite braces, lingual orthodontics, and transparent aligners, to meet the growing demand for alternatives to traditional braces. Clear aligner therapy, which consists of a series of transparent dental appliances designed to fit the shape of a patient's teeth, is one such alternative. Clear aligners, like traditional braces, use a progressive force to control tooth movement, but they do so without me

The biggest difficulties seem to be the correct indication of the cases, the management of the digital workflow and the clinical management, which are intrinsically linked to the knowledge of the technique’s details, that is, the force-delivery properties (mechanical properties of thermoplastic materials), when used in a context of CAD/CAM systems customization.
