- Patients with nickel allergies often prefer clear aligners over traditional stainless steel brackets and wires for orthodontic treatment.
- A study compared the effectiveness and discomfort levels of nickel titanium (NiTi) wires vs. clear aligners in managing mandibular incisor crowding among 40 participants divided into two groups.
- Results indicated that both treatment methods were similarly effective in improving malocclusion, with no significant differences in alignment changes or discomfort over three months.
