Force Expressed by 3D-Printed Aligners with Different Thickness and Design Compared to Thermoformed Aligners: An in Vitro Study by Francesca Cremonini, Carolina Pancari, Luca Brucculeri, Ariyan Karami Shabankare, Luca Lombardo

“…(1) Background: Clear aligners are favored for their aesthetics in orthodontics, with newer 3D-printed technologies allowing the design of aligners with differential thicknesses and materials, offering advantages in terms of force distribution on the teeth, thereby optimizing treatment biomechanics. This study aimed to compare the initial and final forces of three types of 3D-printed aligners (with different thickness gradients and gingival margins) and traditional thermoformed aligners (with different gingival margins), evaluating stress relaxation and force consistency to determine which material and configuration may be optimal for better force distribution; (2) Methods: Twenty-seven 3D-printed aligners with three design variations and 18 thermoformed aligners were analyzed. …”
