Incidence and risk factors of alveolar bone dehiscences and fenestrations after clear aligner therapy with Class II elastics: a retrospective study
The incidence of ABDs/ABFs significantly increased after non-extraction CAT with Class II elastics in adults, especially on the labial root surface of the mandibular anterior teeth. Orthodontists should be well aware of the periodontal risks of CAT with Class II elastics.
