Dimensional stability of pet-g clear aligners with different thickness through cyclic compressive load tests: An in vitro study
The 0.88-mm-thick aligners demonstrated better dimensional stability during tests with and without saliva in the intermolar distance, while the 0.75-mm-thick aligners showed better dimensional stability in the intercanine distance. <b>Key words:</b>Clear Aligners, PET-G, thickness, dimensional stability, cyclic compressive load tests.
