Abstract:
For most patients undergoing clear aligner treatment, it could be necessary to bond multiple attachments on their tooth surfaces. The clear aligner attachment is designed to enhance aligner retention, transmit orthodontic forces, and make the programmed tooth movement more predictable. Materials such as restorative resin, orthodontic bonding adhesive, flowable resin, and resin-modified glass ionomer cement are currently used for attachment bonding. But there is currently no conclusion as to which material suits most. The objective of this review is to look into the studies published in recent years, in order to explore the optimal material option for making clear aligner attachments.
