Force profile assessment of direct-printed aligners versus thermoformed aligners and the effects of non-engaged surface patterns
Abstract Background The purpose of the study was to measure the forces delivered by direct-printed aligners (DPA) in the vertical dimension and compare the force profile with traditional thermoformed aligners (TFA) and to investigate the impact of non-engaged surface patterns to the properties of DP...
