Factors influencing fenestration and dehiscence in the anterior teeth after clear aligner treatment: a multicenter retrospective study
In patients undergoing non-extraction clear aligner therapy, factors such as crowding, curve of Spee depth, alveolar bone thickness, gingival thickness, sagittal skeletal pattern, amount and type of intrusion, amount of retraction, molar distalization, and number of attachments were significantly associated with the presence of fenestration and dehiscence at T2. Orthodontists should assess these factors, conduct thorough pretreatment evaluations of individual oral conditions, and develop tailored treatment plans accordingly.
