“… 23 Relevant education and training on CAT are therefore critical for good treatment outcomes. 24 Park et al 25 conducted an online survey on CAT education that dental students received from 75 departments in American and Canadian dental schools. The study found that most participants (73.3%) received didactic teaching, whilst 46.7% received clinical practice.…”

Background: Over the last two decades, clear aligners have become a mainstay in contemporary orthodontic practice primarily due to improvements in digital and 3D printing technologies, a growing interest in esthetic orthodontics, especially in the adult population, and aggressive manufacturer marketing internationally. Material and Methods: PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE databases were searched from January 1998 to November 2021. The search terms used were “Invisalign” OR “clear aligner.” A total of 7000 records were searched, of which 369 potentially relevant articles were retrieved in full. 190 studies met the selection criteria following screening and were included in the scoping review. Results: This review scopes and analyses published orthodontic literature about CA according to a year-wise distribution into 3 groups, 2001–2010/2011–2020/2021. Most of the studies were published in the period between 2011 and 2020, with 138 studies accounting for 73%. The year 2021 followed, with 31 studies accounting for 16%, which was greater than the number of studies published in 10 years from 2001 to 2010. Studies were also classified based on the study designs with most of the published studies representing the lowest level of evidence including case reports, case series, narrative reviews, expert opinions, and editorials accounting for 137 studies, whereas case-control studies were the least reported studies with only 4 studies reported in the literature. In addition, they were categorized into seven main domains: (1) Biological considerations associated with clear aligner therapy (CAT), (2) Treatment outcomes considerations associated with CAT, (3) Geometrical considerations associated with CAT (clinical), (4) Biomechanical considerations associated with CAT (Laboratory/Finite element analysis), (5) Biomaterial considerations associated with CAT, (6) Patient education and experience and aesthetic and social perception of CAT, and (7) Miscellaneous. Treatment outcome considerations associated with CAT had the greatest percentage representing 36% of the total published domains, while the final place was occupied by the biomechanical considerations associated with CAT accounting for only 4% of the published domains about CAT. Conclusion: Treatment outcome was the domain most commonly reported by studies accounting for (36%). Most of the published studies are at the lowest level of evidence including case reports, case series, narrative reviews, and expert opinions. The vast majority of studies utilized only a single clear aligner brand. There is a greater need for research that studies CAT from a holistic perspective.

“…Universities may have to change the curriculum for students or professionals to meet future market demands. In a UK survey, 59% of undergraduate students showed interest in Invisalign courses [ 40 ]. An earlier study suggested that patients are willing to pay more for orthodontic services provided by doctors with higher levels of formal education.…”

Aligners are an example of how advances in dentistry can develop from innovative combinations of 3D technologies in imaging, planning and printing to provide new treatment modalities. With increasing demand for esthetic orthodontic treatment, aligners have grown in popularity because they are esthetically more pleasing and less obstructive to oral hygiene and other oral functions compared to fixed orthodontic appliances. To observe and estimate aligner treatment interest among Google Search users, Google Trends data were obtained and analyzed for the search term, “Invisalign”. A prediction of interest for the year 2022 for three European Union countries with the highest GDP was developed. “Invisalign” was chosen to represent all orthodontic aligners as the most searched term in Google Trends for aligners. This is the first study to predict interest in the query “Invisalign” in a Google search engine. The Prophet algorithm, which depends on advanced statistical analysis methods, positions itself as an automatic prediction procedure and was used to predict Google Trends data. Seasonality modeling was based on the standard Fourier series to provide a flexible model of periodic effects. The results predict an increase in “Invisalign” in Google Trends queries in the coming year, increasing by around 6%, 9% and 13% by the end of 2022 compared to 2021 for France, Italy and Germany, respectively. Forecasting allows practitioners to plan for growing demand for particular treatments, consider taking continuing education, specifically, aligner certification courses, or introduce modern scanning technology into offices. The oral health community can use similar prediction tools and methods to remain alert to future changes in patient demand to improve the responses of professional organizations as a whole, work more effectively with governments if needed, and provide better coordination of care for patients.
