Root resorption during maxillary molar intrusion with clear aligners: a randomized controlled trial

CONCLUSIONS: Maxillary molar intrusion and root resorption in CA were half the amount in FM in 6 months. The amount of maxillary molar root resorption was one-third of the intrusion distance. CA displayed less overbite increase and bite closing but more MBF increase than FM. MBF in CA was positively correlated with the molar intrusion amount.PMID:37922387 | DOI:10.2319/010723-14.1
