Crown movement with direct printed aligners
This trial tests how well direct printed aligners can move the crowns of teeth in adults with mild spacing issues. If you have gaps between your front teeth and do not need extractions or braces for crowding, this study might be for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 to 45 years old.
- Treatment does not require tooth extractions.
- Class I or Class II bite with front teeth spacing (gaps) that is general or in a few spots.
- Healthy gums with normal pocket depths (no active gum disease).
- No active gum disease, severe crowding, or health conditions that affect bone or tooth movement.

This study tests a new type of 3D-printed clear aligner and how well it can control the way teeth roots move. It may be a good option if you have gaps in your teeth (not crowding) and do not need any tooth extractions.
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.
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 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.
This trial tests a treatment called DPA for mildly crowded upper front teeth in young adults. It aims to see if this approach can straighten your teeth without braces.
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.
