Comparing two types of clear aligners for tooth movement
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests two different clear aligner designs to see which works better for straightening teeth. It is for people who need braces and have not had orthodontic treatment before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have crooked teeth or a bad bite and need braces.
- Your teeth and gums are healthy, with no untreated cavities, gum disease, or tooth infections.
- You have never had braces or clear aligners before.
- You have all your permanent teeth (except wisdom teeth).
- You are not pregnant and do not have a bone disease or take medications that affect bone healing.

This study tests two different ways of making clear aligners (custom plastic trays that move your teeth). Researchers want to see if 3D-printed aligners work as well as traditional heat-formed ones for mild crowding or spacing.
This study compares two different methods of straightening teeth: traditional metal braces and clear aligners. It will measure how well each system works for people with moderate crowding and which one gives better results.
This study compares two ways of making clear plastic aligners to straighten teeth. It looks at whether directly 3D-printed aligners work better than ones made by pressing a plastic sheet over a 3D model. This could be for people with mild to moderate teeth alignment issues.
This study compares two different ways of making clear teeth aligners—one using 3D printing and one using heat-shaping—to see which one fits better and stays accurate over time. If you have healthy teeth and gums, you may wear an aligner for 4–6 months while researchers measure how well it works.
This study tests two types of clear aligners to see which one feels more comfortable and works better for patients with mild to moderate crowding. It may help decide which aligner material is better for future patients.
This study compares the accuracy of 3D printed aligners to traditional thermoformed aligners for treating mild to moderate lower front crowding. It may help you if you're a teenager or young adult needing simple straightening without extractions.
