Journal of Dental Research and Reports:
Clinical study confirms effectiveness of clear
aligner teleorthodontic care
"The aim of the study was threefold:
to objectively assess the clinical effectiveness of teleorthodontic treatment with clear aligners on
maxillary and mandibular incisor alignment utilizing the SmileDirectClub® teleorthodontic platform.
●
to objectively measure differences in clinical effectiveness between treatment supervised by general
practitioners versus orthodontic specialists
to subjectively consider patient satisfaction after the teleorthodontic treatment with clear aligners and
the relationship between satisfaction and whom the treatment was provided by."
Conclusion:
"Study data suggest that teleorthodontic treatment with clear aligners is clinically effective in the
correction of maxillary and mandibular incisor alignment problems (crowding or spacing) less than 6 mm.
There appears to be no difference in clinical effectiveness between teleorthodontic treatment with clear
aligners supervised by general practitioners versus orthodontic specialists. Patient satisfaction after
teleorthodontic treatment with clear aligners seems to be unrelated to who provided the treatment,
general practitioner or orthodontic specialist."
