A cross sectional study on the analysis of periodontal parameters in adult patients with clear aligners orthodontics treatment versus three other types of brackets

Objective: To analyse the gingival parameters in the orthodontic treatment using clear aligners versus the three other types of brackets, i.e., conventional metal, conventional ceramic, and metal self‑ligating. Materials and methods: The current study comprised 80 individuals who came in for regular appointments and were receiving orthodontic treatment. They were then separated into four groups, each with 20 patients: Group 1 received traditional brackets (CB); Group 2 received traditional ceramic brackets (CCB); Group 3 received self-ligating (SL) brackets; and Group 4 received clear aligner (CA) treatment. The inclusion criteria were any patient under the age of 18 with a Class II or Class III skeletal link who was receiving orthodontic treatment for at least 6 months with fixed orthodontic appliances (FOA) on their teeth. Smokers, pregnant women, diabetics, and those using medications that impact gingival health or who have cardiovascular illnesses were all excluded from the study. Patients who had used antiseptic solutions or mouthwash in the previous six months, had any periodontal procedures in the previous six months, or had fixed bridges and crowns or extensive restorations adjacent to the gingival borders were also excluded.
