Trueness and precision of direct-printed and thermoformed clear aligners after artificial saliva exposure: A comparative in vitro study
This in vitro study demonstrated that direct-printed aligners provided higher trueness and precision than thermoformed ones. Exposure to AS decreased the trueness and precision for both types. However, further studies are needed to validate the behaviors of direct-printed aligners clinically.
