Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: With the growing search for aesthetic alternatives by the population, the use of invisible aligners is frequent and is gaining notoriety compared to conventional fixed orthodontic appliances. However, knowledge about the parallels between orthodontic techniques is of great value, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of both, in order to clarify essential issues for the orthodontist in the use of the most appropriate treatment for each case. Thus, this study proposed to review the scientific literature on removable orthodontic aligners versus fixed orthodontic appliances. Articles from 2005 to 2021 were selected, using the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Clinical Trials and OpenGrey databases. The articles addressed issues such as pain, periodontal health, hygiene, microbiota, root resorption, quality of life and treatment effectiveness. Aligners showed greater acceptability by patients and clear advantages in relation to pain, hygiene, quality of life, root resorption and periodontal health, being inferior to fixed orthodontic appliances in terms of effectiveness and speech capacity.
