“…A majority of 85% of patients preferred going for a more comfortable treatment option than undergoing the traditional orthodontic treatment, whereas a minority of 15% of people did not opt for it. Reason for this is an increased interest in trying out the new treatment option compared to the minority of 63% people willing to try out a new treatment option in the study cited previously (Acar et al, 2014). 51% of the population was aware of the term clear aligner and 49% of the population is not aware of the term.…”

Malocclusion is defined as irregularity of the teeth or a mal-relationship of the dental arches beyond the range of what is accepted as normal occlusion. Maloccluded teeth can cause psychological problems that are related to impaired dentofacial esthetics. Malocclusion may also cause serious problems related to oral health. This is a multifactorial defect caused by factors such as environment, lifestyle, health, genetics, socio-economic status etc. Clear aligners are orthodontic therapeutic options which are preferred for the correction of maloccluded teeth. The main aim of the study was to find out the awareness of the patients towards the preference of clear aligners as orthodontic treatment options. A University based setting was conducted. A sample size of hundred patients was taken for the survey. The survey was done by distributing an online questionnaire through Google forms consisting of 11 questions and circulated among the participants. The participants comprise both male and female patients. To eliminate bias, a randomized sampling method was used. The data was collected over a period of one week. All the 11 questions of the survey were close ended questions. Chi square test was applied to find the association between the parameters and the level of significance. This study shows the patients have a moderate understanding of clear aligners and their acceptance of it as an orthodontic treatment option.

“…Esta característica possibilita uma redução das limitações a nível social permitindo, por exemplo, que os pacientes sorriam com uma maior confiança. O fato desses aparelhos serem removíveis permite que eles sejam retirados durante as refeições e as atividades físicas, na utilização de instrumentos musicais de sopro e, além disso, facilitam a fonética no decorrer de alguns discursos profissionais e permitem uma melhor higienização tanto dos alinhadores como dos dentes (ACAR et al, 2014;JOFEE, 2003).…”

Introduction: The purpose of this prospective clinical study was to compare the three dimensional predicted software models with the stage clinical STL models and to evaluate the efficacy of tooth movement with clear aligners. Materials & Method: The sample size included 10 cases with mild anterior crowding treated with aligner therapy. The virtual model of the predicted tooth position was superimposed on the virtual model of the achieved tooth position at various stages over their stationary posterior teeth by using MeshLab software. The amount of tooth movement predicted was compared with the amount of tooth movement achieved. Result: The results of this study have shown that when a comparison was made on the basis of irregularity scores in both the groups, it was seen that the irregularity score was more in Clinical STL group at each stage such as 2.55 at T4, 1.65 at T6 and 1.0 at T8 whereas 2.0 at T4. 0.90 at T6 and 0.25 at T8 in the Software model group. Also, On comparing mean accuracy these three stages, the analysis of data showed the mean accuracy at T4 is 62.5%, mean accuracy at T6 is 68.8% and the mean accuracy at T8 is 78.1%. Conclusion: The predicted software models do not accurately reflect the patient’s tooth position .There is an overestimation by predicted software as compared to actual clinically achieved tooth position. There is a need of overcorrection to be built in the treatment planning stage itself and execution of the anticipated end result.
