For nearly 20 years, clear aligners have gained popularity among patients seeking orthodontic treatment that is both discreet and aesthetically pleasing. These nearly invisible systems are particularly in demand among adult patients.

This new work, backed by robust clinical evidence, introduces and examines all currently available thermoplastic products designed to apply a predetermined force to the teeth and jaw, aiming to correct misaligned teeth while maintaining aesthetic appeal for the patient.

Key Features:

• Contributions from over a dozen leading international experts.
• The latest guidelines on clinical management with aligners.
• A scientific approach that presents evidence from research on material properties, forces generated by aligners, and treatment outcomes.
