SMILE ALIGNERS

Evolution of clear aligners. Their clinical efficiency compared to traditional fixed orthodontic systems

The power of clear aligners in closing edentulous molar spaces: clinical and medicolegal considerations in a preliminary review and case report

The use of invisible aligners without buttons in composite with differentiated thicknesses. Examining the case of a patient treated with this technique to reduce dental crowding and improve aesthetics, while reducing invasiveness and the need for check-ups.

Thesis on the use of invisible aligners, with a focus on polymeric materials used for the correction of dental anomalies. The mechanics of dental movements, the importance of aesthetics for treatment acceptance and the characteristics required for the materials used are explored.

Use of the Italian orthodontic protocol "Sorridi" for dental correction, which uses double-mask aligners with variable thicknesses to reduce crowding and achieve gradual tooth movements without attachments. The protocol includes advanced biomechanical tools to optimize movements, supports for monitoring progress and customization through virtual set-up software to visualize treatment results.

Surface wear of attachments in patients undergoing clear aligner therapy: a prospective clinical study

The main topic of the publication is the quantitative analysis of the surface wear of dental attachments in patients using clear aligners, evaluating the associated risk factors and comparing different types of attachments to improve the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment.

Structural and chromatic changes of teeth after removal of orthodontic brackets: a systematic review - The review analyzes the effects of the removal of fixed orthodontic brackets on the structure of dental enamel, highlighting microfractures, surface alterations and color variations, as well as evaluating techniques to limit damage and preserve the aesthetics of post-treatment teeth.

Quantitative volumetric enamel loss after orthodontic bracket removal and cleaning procedures: a systematic review.
The article quantitatively analyzes the enamel loss that occurs after orthodontic bracket removal and cleaning procedures, such as debonding and clean-up. The review compares different removal techniques to determine which ones cause the least damage to enamel, providing recommendations to minimize tooth tissue loss.
