Posted: December 20, 2024
The article systematically reviews the biomechanical effects of clear aligner trimline designs and extensions on orthodontic tooth movement efficacy. It highlights that aligner design significantly influences force delivery, aligner retention, and tooth displacement, impacting various movements like intrusion, translation, tipping, and root torquing. Straight extended trimlines show superior performance, leading to predictable outcomes, reduced treatment time, and increased patient satisfaction. Dental professionals can use this knowledge to optimize clear aligner treatment and improve clinical results.
