[Torque control of anterior teeth by clear aligners].

ABSTRACT

Appropriate torque control of anterior teeth is of great significance to obtain ideal orthodontic treatment outcome. Clear aligners are less effective in torque control of anterior teeth due to their special application mode and material properties. Therefore, it is important to investigate how to improve the torque control of anterior teeth by using clear aligners, with the expectation of providing guidance for clinicians. This article discussed the methods to control the torque of anterior teeth by using traditional fixed appliances, the efficiency of clear aligner in controlling the torque of anterior teeth, the difficult points of clear aligner in controlling the torque of anterior teeth and the therapeutic methods to better control the torque of anterior teeth by using clear aligners.
