Root control in 3D-printed clear aligners
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- Your treatment will not require removing any permanent teeth.
- You have mild to moderate gaps in your upper or lower front teeth, and your bite is Class I (normal) or Class II (overbite).
- Your gums are healthy (no active gum disease).
- You do not have a health condition or take medication that affects bone or tooth movement.

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.
This study compares 3D-printed clear aligners with traditional thermoformed aligners for patients with mild to moderate crowding. If you qualify, you may receive one of these aligner types to straighten your teeth.
This study compares two types of retainers used after braces to see which one fits better and keeps its color. You may be able to join if you've finished your orthodontic treatment and are in good health.
This trial tests how your mouth reacts to a 3d printed retainer after braces. It may help you keep your teeth straight.
This study compares two ways of making a special type of crown (called an endocrown) for back teeth that have had root canals. One method uses 3D printing, the other uses milling from a solid block. The goal is to see which crown fits better and lasts longer over 18 months.
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.
