NCT ID NCT07215598
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at the small tooth-colored bumps (attachments) used with Invisalign aligners to help move teeth. Researchers want to see which design—optimized or conventional—is placed more accurately and holds its shape longer. Thirty adults starting Invisalign treatment will have their attachments scanned right after placement and at follow-up visits over six months to measure precision and wear.

- Composite aligner attachments (optimized and conventional designs)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help orthodontists choose better attachment designs for more predictable and efficient Invisalign treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It focuses on accuracy and wear, not on treatment outcomes or side effects.
