“…They are esthetic, efficient, and comfortable compared to traditional FOAs for mild-to-moderate malocclusion 17. On average, the treatment process takes 13.5 months, and treatment time varies based on the complexity of the planned teeth movements 18. Some patients prefer interproximal reduction, which could reduce the treatment time compared to molar distalization.…”

ObjectiveTo assess the impact of wearing fixed orthodontic appliance (FOA) or clear-aligner, on daily performance in adult patients.MethodsThe Oral Impacts on Daily Performance (OIDP) index was assessed in 152 adults aged 25–35 years at baseline (T0), 6 months after bonding (T1), and 12 months after bonding (T2). Participants were randomly divided into two groups: CA group (participants treated with clear-aligner) and a control group (FOA group; participants treated with FOA). Baseline malocclusion severity was assessed using the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need.ResultsThere were no significant differences in sociodemographic variables and OIDP scores at baseline between the two groups. Significant changes in OIDP total and subscale scores were observed while wearing FOA: OIDP total score and subscale scores of eating, cleaning teeth, smiling, and social relation at T1 and T2 were significantly higher than at baseline (P<0.05 or P<0.01). However, only OIDP total score was significantly increased at T1 compared to the baseline in the CA group. OIDP total score and subscale scores of eating, cleaning teeth, smiling, and social relation were significantly higher in patients wearing FOA than in patients wearing clear-aligner at T1 and T2 (P<0.05 or P<0.01).ConclusionPatients wearing clear-aligner have fewer impacts on daily life than those wearing FOA during treatment, and have no significant changes in OIPD subscale scores at 12 months. FOA therapy significantly impacts daily performance in adult patients during treatment.

“…It is important for patients to wear their aligners 22 hours a day or more. 4 Arch expansion is possible with Invisalign and may be required as a perceived need to improve the esthetics of the smile by broadening the dental arches 5 or as a mechanism to create space for resolution of crowding. 6,7 It can also be used as a way of correcting dentoalveolar posterior crossbites.…”

“…According to the same authors, expansion of the dental arches should be limited to 2-3 mm of arch width per quadrant to minimize the risk of relapse and gingival recession. Malik et al 4 in 2013 reported that expansion is an indication to use Invisalign when having to resolve 1-5 mm of crowding. In the same article, dental expansion using Invisalign was also recommended for blocked out teeth.…”

Objectives: To investigate the predictability of arch expansion using Invisalign. Materials and Methods: Sixty-four adult white patients were selected to be part of this retrospective study. Pre-and posttreatment digital models created from an iTero scan were obtained from a single orthodontist practitioner. Digital models from Clincheck were also obtained from Align Technology. Linear values of upper and lower arch widths were measured for canines, premolars, and first molars at two different points: lingual gingival margins and cusp tips. A paired ttest was used to compare expansion planned on Clincheck with the posttreatment measurements. Variance ratio tests were used to determine if a larger change planned was associated with larger error.

“…8 The conventional process of fabricating an aligner is based on obtaining a dental impression on plaster models from the patient and then thermoforming a biocompatible thermoplastic transparent sheet using a vacuum thermoforming machine. 9 Geometric inaccuracies are common and are often caused during the impression collection and thermoforming processes; this could be minimized through the utilization of digital technologies, 3D modeling, and RP techniques.…”

Invisible orthodontics part 1: invisalign

Abstract: Patients are increasingly requesting more aesthetic forms of orthodontic treatment. Clinicians need to be aware of the indications and limitations of such invisible therapies so that they can fully inform their patients.
