Maxillary arch development with clear aligners: A comprehensive scoping review

Clear aligners demonstrate moderate effectiveness for maxillary arch expansion through dental tipping, especially in mild to moderate cases. However, they are less predictable for bodily movement or large-scale skeletal changes. Further high-quality, controlled trials are required to validate these outcomes and optimize treatment protocols.

Abstract

Clear aligners demonstrate moderate effectiveness for maxillary arch expansion through dental tipping, especially in mild to moderate cases. However, they are less predictable for bodily movement or large-scale skeletal changes. Further high-quality, controlled trials are required to validate these outcomes and optimize treatment protocols.
