Oral Impacts of Aligners versus Fixed Self-Ligating Lingual Orthodontic Appliances

The aim of this prospective study was to compare a fixed lingual orthodontic appliance with a commonly used aligner system, focusing on oral impacts and speech disturbances, during the first 3 months of orthodontic treatment. Two groups of adults were evaluated: 21 treated with Invisalign<sup>...
