New study tests if 3D-Printed aligners move teeth more accurately
NCT ID NCT07350343
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of clear aligners: 3D-printed shape memory aligners (Graphy) and standard thermoformed aligners. It aims to see which one moves teeth more predictably in people with mild crowding, gaps, or rotations. About 36 participants will be followed to measure how close the actual tooth movement matches the planned movement.
