Randomized In-Vivo Comparison of 3D-Printed and Thermoformed Clear Aligners: A Multi-Subject, Time-Dependent Analysis of Adaptation and Trueness
NCT07639515 · Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20
Last updated 2026-06-12
Summary
This prospective clinical study aims to evaluate and compare the in vivo adaptation and trueness of clear aligners fabricated using thermoforming and direct three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies.
Conditions
- Adaptation of Different Types of Clear Aligners
Interventions
- DEVICE
-
Device: Invisalign Passive Clear Aligner
Participants will wear a passive fabricated from unchanged digital models and not intended to move teeth or provide orthodontic treatment. The aligner will be worn full-time for 14 days, followed by a 48-hour washout period before the next system, with digital intraoral scans obtained at baseline, 24 hours, 7 days, and 14 days to assess aligner adaptation and trueness over time.
- DEVICE
-
Spark Passive aligners
Participants will wear a passive fabricated from unchanged digital models and not intended to move teeth or provide orthodontic treatment. The aligner will be worn full-time for 14 days, followed by a 48-hour washout period before the next system, with digital intraoral scans obtained at baseline, 24 hours, 7 days, and 14 days to assess aligner adaptation and trueness over time.
- DEVICE
-
Zendura passive aligner
Participants will wear a passive fabricated from unchanged digital models and not intended to move teeth or provide orthodontic treatment. The aligner will be worn full-time for 14 days, followed by a 48-hour washout period before the next system, with digital intraoral scans obtained at baseline, 24 hours, 7 days, and 14 days to assess aligner adaptation and trueness over time.
- DEVICE
-
Graphy passive aligner
Participants will wear a passive fabricated from unchanged digital models and not intended to move teeth or provide orthodontic treatment. The aligner will be worn full-time for 14 days, followed by a 48-hour washout period before the next system, with digital intraoral scans obtained at baseline, 24 hours, 7 days, and 14 days to assess aligner adaptation and trueness over time.
- DEVICE
-
Luxcreo passive aligner
Participants will wear a passive fabricated from unchanged digital models and not intended to move teeth or provide orthodontic treatment. The aligner will be worn full-time for 14 days, followed by a 48-hour washout period before the next system, with digital intraoral scans obtained at baseline, 24 hours, 7 days, and 14 days to assess aligner adaptation and trueness over time.
