Occlusal contacts before and after treatment in adolescents treated with fixed orthodontic appliances versus clear aligners Public Deposited
Objectives: To compare occlusal contact numbers (OC#) in adolescents before (T0) and after (T1) treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances (FOA) versus clear aligner therapy (CAT). Conclusions: Adolescent subjects treated with CAT versus FOA showed significantly fewer posterior OC# and less incisor angulation changes.
