ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two different types of clear aligners used in orthodontic treatment to see how well they work for moving teeth in various ways. The goal is to understand how each type behaves when correcting issues like crowded teeth, tipped teeth, or misaligned bites. This research will help create a plan for choosing the best aligner based on how predictable the tooth movements are.

To participate in this study, you should have dental problems that need treatment, such as misaligned teeth, and be in good oral health without any serious dental issues like gum disease or untreated cavities. Unfortunately, if you've had orthodontic treatment in the past or have certain health conditions, like pregnancy or specific bone metabolism issues, you won't be eligible. Participants will have the opportunity to receive treatment with either type of aligner and contribute to important research that could improve orthodontic care for others.
