Indications and limits of clear aligner therapy: an international modified Delphi consensus study
The panel members reached agreement on most topics.

The absence of agreement on treatment duration, effects on skeletal growth, and the management of periodontally compromised patients highlights significant evidence gaps that warrant further research.
