Assessment of linear and angular positions of central incisors in the maxilla and mandible related to planned overbite changes with clear aligner therapy
Although achieved arch depth/linear changes were close to those planned with the Invisalign appliance, angular changes differed significantly from those planned pretreatment. Central incisor root apices moved more labially than planned as planned changes to overbite increased, with a corresponding potential increased risk of alveolar bony dehiscence and fenestration.
