- Abstract
This article compares the effects of using clear aligners versus fixed appliances on periodontal health. The study found that patients wearing fixed appliances had poorer oral hygiene and higher levels of plaque compared to those using clear aligners. Clear aligners were found to be beneficial for patients with periodontal problems, as they reduce the risk of further damage to the gums. Overall, the clear aligners group showed better oral health and a higher quality of life compared to the fixed appliances group.
