Innovative Clear Aligner Designs Optimize Maxillary Premolar Distalization for Enhanced Efficiency

Posted: December 2, 2024
A 4D finite element study examined the effect of different clear aligner designs on maxillary premolar distalization. Results showed that a specific aligner design effectively minimized mesial movement of molars, enhancing molar distalization efficiency. By removing the distal portion of the aligner covering molars, the premolar distalization process can be optimized, leading to a 95.5-96.5% efficiency in the all-molar half-wrap group. This innovation has significant implications for improving orthodontic treatment outcomes.
