Abstract

Background: The patients' request for treatment with clear aligners is constantly increasing. The aligners permit to the clinicians a valid way to solve a lot of orthodontic cases but the patients' compliance and the clinicians' capabilities and knowledge of the technique is fundamental for the outcome.

Methods: Seventy-two digital models of 18 consecutive patients treated with Invisalign and Smart Track aligners for 14 weeks were analyzed. The operator positioned 24 points on each model and were obtained the values of arch depth and perimeter of arch before and after the treatment. The variations of measurement were calculated with t student test.

Results: A decrease of arch depth and perimeter was found from t0 to t1 and the most relevant difference was observed in the upper arch depth with a decrease of 1.3 mm and in the upper arch perimeter with a difference of 1.1 mm.

Conclusions: There was always a decrease of the values of arch depth and arch perimeter at the end of the treatment, especially in the upper arch. These changes must be considered by the clinicians to perform a better treatment to obtain the most predictable results and a patient's higher satisfaction.

隐形矫正器:美观高效。

背景:患者对使用透明矫正器治疗的要求不断增加。矫正器为临床医生提供了一种有效的方法来解决许多正畸病例，但患者的依从性和临床医生对技术的能力和知识是结果的基础。方法:对连续使用Invisalign和Smart Track矫正器14周的18例患者72个数字模型进行分析。操作者在每个模型上定位24个点，得到治疗前后的弓深和弓周长值。测量变量用t学生检验计算。结果:从t0到t1，弓深和弓周长均有所减小，其中上弓深度减小1.3 mm，上弓周长减小1.1 mm，差异最大。结论:治疗结束时，弓深和弓周长均有所减小，尤其是上弓。临床医生必须考虑这些变化，以实施更好的治疗，以获得最可预测的结果和患者更高的满意度。
