This scoping review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the current literature on
3D-printed orthodontic aligners. It was conducted following the Preferred Items for …

Clear aligner therapy is a rapidly developing orthodontic treatment. 3D-printing technology,
which enables the creation of complex geometric structures with high precision, has been …

This study aimed to report forces and moments delivered by 3D-printed aligners. Tera Harz
TC-85 resin and Zendura FLX (ZF) thermoformed sheets (0.76 mm) were used. Rectangular …

Background Clear aligner treatment (CAT) has emerged as an effective alternative to
conventional multibracket systems in orthodontics. The trimline design and extension of …

Objectives This study aimed to use a carboxybetaine methacrylate (CBMA) copolymer
solution to surface treat 3D printed clear aligners at different fabrication stages, to impart …

Color changing stimuli sensitive polymeric materials, toward varying heat (thermochromic)
or voltage (electrochromic) conditions, have gained topical scientific interest owing to …

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different surface treatment
methods on the shear bond strength (SBS) of metal brackets bonded to two types of …

Highlights•Global plastic manufacturing has reached historic levels, yet recycling rates
remain much lower than production rates.•Recently, Invisalign aligners became recyclable …

This overview examines the latest developments and applications of 3D and 4D printing in
the health care and pharmaceutical field. The technique of creating a 3D object from a 3D …

Conclusions: Of the tested aligners, Graphy Tc-85 was the most resistant to repetitive loads,
while Invisalign was the least resistant. It is inherently difficult to predict how different liquids …
