The force effects of two types of polyethylene terephthalate glyc-olmodified clear aligners immersed in artificial saliva

Abstract Numerous factors can influence the force exerted by clear aligners on teeth. This study aimed to investigate the stability of the force delivered by two different material appliances. 90 clear aligners with 2 materials and three different activations were designed and fabricated. Then, a de...
