Role of Attachments in Clear Aligner Therapy
Dr. Sarita, Dr. Shantanu Sharma, Dr. Jyoti Tatiya, Alok Kumar, Dr. Rakshit Sthapak
Abstract: Clear aligner therapy has transformed orthodontics by providing a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. A key element of this therapy is the use of attachments, which are small, tooth-colored bumps bonded to specific teeth to improve the grip and effectiveness of aligners. These attachments enhance precise tooth movement, torque application, and treatment efficiency, thereby optimizing outcomes and potentially reducing treatment duration. Various types of attachments, such as button, ramp, and bead attachments, are tailored to achieve specific movements. Clinical evidence strongly supports their role, highlighting their benefits in treating mild to moderate malocclusions. This review underscores the significance of attachments in advancing the efficacy and precision of clear aligner therapy.
Keywords: clear aligner therapy, orthodontics, attachments, tooth movement, treatment efficiency. Introduction
