“…It plays a crucial role in CAT, as it is necessary for the proper fitting of aligners and the execution of planned tooth movements. In cases of mild and moderate crowding, it is considered one of the potential ways to create space [23]. Although the success of clear aligners in treating crowding has been widely discussed, a study comparing the virtual arch form and the actual arch form post treatment with clear aligners in terms of crowding resolution found the results to be dissimilar.…”

The implementation of Clear Aligner Therapy (CAT) in adult orthodontics exemplifies the integration of advanced technology in the dental healthcare sector. Representing a significant shift in modern orthodontics, CAT offers a convenient and aesthetic alternative to traditional fixed appliance treatments for mal-aligned dentition. This narrative review aims to explore the applicability of CAT, delineating its biomechanics, indications, contraindications, scope, limitations, and factors influencing long-term stability and successful outcomes. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using databases like Google Scholar, PubMed, Cereus, and the Cochrane Library. Articles were selected based on their relevance to clear aligners, without brand specificity, and covered a wide range of cases to establish CAT's scope and limitations. This review includes individual case studies, systemic reviews, comparative analyses, case reports, finite element analyses, and prospective and retrospective analyses, all contributing to a nuanced understanding of CAT's applicability and long-term treatment stability. The conclusion underscores CAT's growing acceptance in orthodontics, including its application in challenging cases, and highlights key determinants that bolster its long-term efficacy.
