Materials for Clear Aligners—A Comprehensive Exploration of Characteristics and Innovations: A Scoping Review

Introduction: Transparent orthodontic aligners have revolutionized dentistry and orthodon- tics since the 1990s, offering advantages over traditional fixed appliances in terms of hygiene, comfort, and aesthetics. With the increasing demand for invisible orthodontic treatments, clear aligners have ga...
