From Aesthetics to Precision: How Clear Aligners Are Transforming Orthodontic Care
 Clear aligners have emerged as a popular alternative to traditional braces, offering aesthetic and comfort advantages. However, their unique biomechanical properties and material characteristics present distinct clinical challenges. A recent expert consensus provides comprehensive guidelines for optimizing clear aligner therapy (CAT), covering case selection, treatment principles, and clinical procedures. The study highlights the importance of tailored strategies for different tooth movements, such as molar distalization and arch expansion, and introduces a novel assessment tool to grade treatment difficulty. By addressing potential complications and emphasizing patient-specific approaches, this consensus aims to enhance treatment efficacy and broaden the adoption of clear aligners in orthodontic practice.
