Effect of thermomechanical ageing on force transmission by orthodontic aligners made of different thermoformed materials: An experimental study

20246 citationsOpen accessSuez Canal University

Abstract

The force generated by aligners is influenced by both the aligner material and the direction of movement. Multi-layer materials exhibit superior performance compared to single-layer materials, primarily because of their lower initial force, which enhances patient comfort, and their capability to maintain consistent force application even after undergoing ageing.
