Clinical Trial: Patient-Reported Outcomes for Different Orthodontic Thermoplastics Used in Clear Aligners

U.S., Aug. 28 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07790315) titled 'Patient-Reported Outcomes for Different Orthodontic Thermoplastics Used in Clear Aligners' on Aug. 07.

Brief Summary: Clear aligner therapy is an esthetic orthodontic treatment modality that uses removable thermoplastic trays to correct dental alignment. Different thermoplastic materials, including thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG), may differ in flexibility and mechanical behavior. These material differences may influence patient-reported outcomes such as pain, mucosal ulceration, tooth sensitivity, tooth mobility, and material-related allergic symptoms. This randomized, double-blind, par...
