Clear Aligners with Dental Monitoring
Clear Aligners replaced every 7 days
Clear Aligners replaced every 14 days
Experiment group: DM (Remote Dental Monitoring approach). Remote Dental Monitoring by DMTM will be implemented in the patient's orthodontic treatment. Pretreatment, 3D digital intra-oral scans will be uploaded to the DMTM dashboard, so they serve as the baseline for 3D tracking of tooth movement. Patients will be trained on how to use the DMTM application and do DM remote scans using their smartphones DM scan box and rector. They will be instructed to do the DM scan after the initial tray insertion. Replacement of the aligners trays will be based on DM GO tracking function, which is specifically targeted at clear aligner treatment.
Group 2:Control group. All subjects will have conventional aligner treatment with aligners replaced every 7 days, and standard in-office visits every 8 weeks.
Group 3: (n=40) Control group. All subjects will have conventional aligner treatment with aligners replaced every 14 days, and standard in-office visits every 8 weeks.
