Clinical Trial to Assess the Efficacy of Reducing the Aligners' Wear Protocol
Conditions: Orthodontic Tooth Movement
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 30 Years
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 45
Sponsor: University of Florida
Location: University of Florida _ Department of Orthodontics Gainesville Florida
Summary
The hypothesis of this project is that replacing the current 7-day wear protocol with a 3-day wear protocol, while integrating less tooth movement per aligner (reduce the amount of activation per aligner) may produce more consistent and continues orthodontic forces, therefore, increase the predictability, accuracy and outcomes achieved for various types of tooth movements and enhance the rate of tooth movement with the Invisalign system
