In-office 3D-printed aligners demonstrate high accuracy in orthodontic tooth movement, particularly for transverse dimensions. Planned movements were successfully executed with minimal discrepancies, validating their clinical effectiveness.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • The demand for aesthetic and efficient orthodontic treatments has increased.
  • Clear aligners offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces.
  • In-office fabrication of aligners presents a potential for cost-effectiveness and faster treatment delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the accuracy of tooth movements achieved with 3D-printed aligners fabricated in-office.
  • To compare planned orthodontic movements with actual outcomes using digital analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Seventeen patients underwent orthodontic treatment using custom aligners.
  • Aligners were 3D printed using Phrozen Sonic XL 4K 2022 printer and Tera Harz TC-85DAC resin.
  • Tooth movements were planned with OnyxCeph software; accuracy was assessed via digital scanning and 3D analysis.

Main Results:

  • The highest mean accuracy rate was observed in the transverse dimension (98.5%).
  • No statistically significant differences were found between planned and actual tooth movements (P > 0.05).
  • Minor discrepancies were noted, with the largest for mandibular canines (1.70°) and the smallest for maxillary canines (0.80°).

Conclusions:

  • In-office fabricated clear aligners demonstrate high accuracy for orthodontic tooth movement.
  • The technology enables successful execution of planned movements, especially in the transverse dimension.
  • This approach offers a viable and accurate method for in-office aligner production.
