Description
Zeeshan Mubashir and co-authors compare root damage between fixed braces and clear aligners in a 2025 study. Tooth roots can shorten as teeth move, an unwanted side effect of orthodontic care. Using three dimensional cone beam scans, the team measured root loss in both treatment groups. Fixed appliance patients showed clearly higher root shortening at the tooth tip than aligner users. The authors conclude that aligners are the safer option for limiting root damage, and they credit the scans for precise volume measures.
