Comparison of the Predictability of Dentoalveolar Expansion With Two Clear Aligner Systems
Sponsor: University of Salamanca
Summary
To analyze the clinical predictability of transverse arch expansion achieved with two clear aligner systems (Invisalign, Angel Aligner-Angel Aligner Pro) by comparing planned and achieved dental movements through digital model analysis at different treatment stages using a repeatable and reproducible digital measurement technique.
Official title: Comparison of the Predictability of Dentoalveolar Expansion With Two Clear Aligner Systems: Angel Aligner Pro-Angel Aligner and Invisalign. A Longitudinal Clinical Study in Adult Patients.

Conditions
Interventions
Invisalign expansion
Transverse dentoalveolar expansion was performed according to the virtual treatment planning established in the aligner software. Orthodontic movements were progressively achieved through the sequential use of the planned clear aligner (an aligner per step).
Angel Aligner
Transverse dentoalveolar expansion was performed according to the virtual treatment planning established in the aligner software. Orthodontic movements were progressively achieved through the sequential use of the planned clear aligners (an aligner per step).
Angel Aligner Pro
Transverse dentoalveolar expansion was performed according to the virtual treatment planning established in the aligner software. Orthodontic movements were progressively achieved through the sequential use of the planned clear aligners (an initial softer aligner worn for 7 days, followed by a second, more rigid aligner worn for 3 days before progressing to the next stage in the treatment sequence)
