Abstract

This in vivo study aims to assess the biomechanical aging of aligners produced by different thermoformed machines using a 3D scanner. By comparing aligners produced by different thermoforming machines, this research seeks to provide insights into the impact of manufacturing processes on aligner performance and durability. The findings of this in vivo study will provide valuable insights into the biomechanical aging of aligners produced by different thermoformed machines. By elucidating the impact of manufacturing processes on aligner performance, this research has the potential to inform clinical practice and guide advancements in aligner fabrication technology.
