Effects of intraoral aging on mechanical properties of directly printed aligners vs. thermoformed aligners: an in vivo prospective investigation
CONCLUSIONS: Group DUR showed generally more favorable mechanical properties compared to DP and INV. The much higher RIT and EIT in DP aligners suggest their higher rigidity and force decay, which could compromise their clinical efficacy.PMID:37936263 | DOI:10.1093/ejo/cjad063
