A Study to Compare Nighttime Aligners to Daytime Aligners

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Teeth Straightening, Aligner Therapy, Orthodontic Aligner

In brief

The purpose of this research study is to see if Nighttime Aligners (worn 10-12 hours per day or night) are effective and safe for tooth movement and if so, how they compare with the standard Daytime aligners (worn 20-22 hours per day), in adults and children from 12 years of age and older. It will investigate the efficacy and performance of the treatments, as well as the safety of the investigational device and comparator. The main objectives are: * Comparison between the two groups concerning actual vs planned tooth movements (measured by changes in tooth position) * Comparison between the two groups concerning the incidence of device or dental related AEs. * Overall dentist and participant satisfaction with the treatment. Participants will: * Be given orthodontic aligner therapy with the Daytime (20-22h/day) or Nighttime (10-12h/day) Aligners (randomly assigned) * Attend approximately 5 study during approximately 8-10 months
