Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the biomechanical behaviour of direct-printed and thermoformed aligners in different tooth movements, creating a biomechanical planning protocol based on a stratification of tooth movements according to the degree of predictability.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Once the objectives, benefits, risks and follow-up of the study have been explained to each eligible patient, patients will be asked to sign an informed consent form. They will also be informed that they may cancel their participation in the study at any time. Patient will be allocated randomly in two groups: The first group will receive orthodontic treatment with direct-printed aligner, while the second group will receive orthodontic treatment with conventional or gold standard thermoformed aligner.

Participants

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Direct-printed aligner

The experimental group will be treated with the aligner system fabricated by direct printing. The current protocols described in the literature and by the manufacturer for the fabrication of the printed orthodontic devices will be followed.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

direct-printed aligner

Intervention Type DEVICE

Patients will be treated with direct-printed aligners until dental alignment is achieved.

Thermoformed aligner

The control group will be treated with the thermoformed or gold standard aligner system. The established protocols for treatment with thermoformed clear aligners will be followed.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

thermoformed aligner

Intervention Type DEVICE

Patients will be treated with thermoformed aligners until dental alignment is achieved.
