3D printed aligners put to the test for closing gaps
NCT ID NCT07273435
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study checks if 3D printed aligners can move front teeth exactly as planned in adults with gaps between teeth. About 23 people aged 18-45 with mild spacing will wear the aligners, and researchers will compare the actual tooth movement to the predicted movement using digital scans. No drugs or long-term treatments are involved.
