Effects of simulated intraoral temperatures and wet environments on the stress relaxation properties of thermoplastic aligner materials
Elevated intraoral temperature accelerated the stress relaxation of thermoplastic aligner materials. The intraoral liquid immersion had no accelerating effect on the stress relaxation of any of the tested materials and even had a significant decelerating effect on that of Essix ACE.
