Description
Braces and clear aligners both move teeth, and a fluid found beside the teeth carries an enzyme whose level hints at how fast bone is remodeling. Manish Pisarla and co-authors compare that enzyme across twenty patients in this 2024 trial, half wearing aligners and half fixed braces, over fourteen days.
Enzyme levels rose in both groups during treatment. At two of the three check points, the aligner group showed clearly higher levels, which may point to faster tooth movement. Overall levels did not differ between the groups, though. The authors caution that the proof is thin and call for stronger studies before drawing firm conclusions.
