Evaluation of Accuracy of 3D Printed Aligners in Comparison to Thermoformed Aligners in Orthodontic Patients
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
3d printed aligner: direct printed aligner will be used
thermoformed aligner: conventional thermoformed aligner will be the gold standard
Study summary
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the accuracy of tooth movement achieved by 3D printed aligners versus thermoformed aligners in patients with lower anterior crowding. The study aims to evaluate whether directly printed aligners provide more accurate and predictable orthodontic tooth movement compared to conventional thermoformed aligners.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- accuracy of tooth movement — 6 month
The accuracy of tooth movement will be assessed by comparing the predicted tooth position from the digital treatment plan (TP) with the actual post-treatment position (T1) using 3D superimposition techniques. Measurements will include linear and angular differences for each tooth using digital software analysis.
