First seen Jan 24, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study looks at whether 3D-printed clear aligners made from a special shape-memory material work better than standard thermoformed aligners at moving teeth as planned. About 36 people with mild to moderate crowding or spacing will be randomly assigned to one of the two aligner types. The main goal is to see how closely the actual tooth movement matches the predicted movement.
