Deep Bite Correction with Aligners: What ClinCheck Promises vs. Clinical Reality
Ten cohort studies (2017-2024) consistently show ClinCheck systematically overestimates deep bite correction with aligners. Clinically, 33–55% of the programmed correction is achieved.
Clear Aligners: When Does Evidence Support Them and Where Does Overestimation Begin?
Systematic evidence analysis on the efficacy, treatment duration, precision, patient benefits, and safety of clear aligner therapy versus fixed orthodontic appliances.
Refinements with clear aligners: exception or built-in part of the business model?
Reviews show aligner movement accuracy varies by type. Minor adjustments for rotation, intrusion, and expansion may be needed; clinicians must judge if this is normal care or over-optimistic planning.
Remote Monitoring in Orthodontics: Process Gains, Platform Lock-in, and Open Escalation Gaps
Evidence shows remote monitoring helps with aligners by cutting office visits (no change in time). Data is limited to one system and adults; escalation plans are absent.
