Effect of clear aligner therapy on the buccolingual inclination of mandibular canines and the intercanine distance.

CONCLUSIONS: Orthodontic treatment with clear aligners tends to increase the mandibular intercanine distance with little change in inclination in contrast to treatment with fixed appliances, which leaves the intercanine distance unchanged but leads to more upright mandibular canines.
