Abstract

Esthetics and orthodontics have always gone hand in hand. Though the concept of moving teeth using tooth positioners was introduced way back in 1945, the clear aligner therapy has gained momentum in the last two decades. Due to continuous advancements in computer technology, medical devices have become more easier to design and manufacture. The constant need for better esthetics and the increasing number of adults seeking orthodontic care has influenced the choice of appliance today. Clear aligners have become a value addition to the orthodontic armamentarium due to patient demand and also due to the range of malocclusions it can treat today.
