Overview

Prospective cohort study evaluates vertical changes in malocclusion treatments with clear aligners and fixed appliances, indicating clear aligners offer adequate control.

Key Points

  • To compare vertical dimension changes between clear aligners (CAs) and fixed appliances (FAs) in treating mild-to-moderate malocclusions.
  • Prospective cephalometric cohort study
  • Assessment of vertical dimensional changes during treatment with CAs and FAs
  • Analysis of outcomes to determine adequacy of vertical control
  • Vertical changes were minimal and comparable between CAs and FAs
  • CAs provided adequate vertical control without significant mandibular rotation observed
  • Further research needed for more complex vertical discrepancies
