Effectiveness and predictability of treatment with clear orthodontic aligners: A scoping review.

Introduction: In an ideal clinical setting, orthodontic therapy with clear aligners (CA) should improve the patients' initial malocclusion and must guarantee equivalence between the results predicted and those obtained clinically to be considered an effective treatment. Therefore, this scoping review aimed to identify the orthodontic literature concerning the effectiveness and predictability of CA treatments.

Methods: A systematic computerized search was performed in 3 databases: PubMed, Scopus, and Embase.
