Abstract
Relevance. Modern studies about orthodontic correction with aligners and brackets focus on the three-dimensional assessment of bone and periodontal structures.
Purpose. The study aimed to develop a technique for the three-dimensional evaluation of bone tissue in orthodontic patients with aligners.
Materials and methods. Using our methodology, we evaluated the buccal and lingual bone thickness at the lower incisors, alveolar bone thickness, buccal and lingual width and height of the mandibular symphysis.
Results. Six months after the beginning of the orthodontic treatment with aligners, the study determined an increase in bone thickness bilaterally and the sharpness of buccal and lingual bone structure.
Conclusion. Treatment planning in patients is only possible using 3D cephalometry with complete visualization of tooth position in the bone and according to the roots of the adjacent teeth.
