Introduction: Aligners are presented as an aesthetic and simple solution capable of treating a wide range of malocclusions. However, they require numerous auxiliaries that are often complex to implement and unesthetic attachments to compensate for their inability in reproducing the simulated movements.
Objectives: The aim of this article is to review the advantages and limitations of aligners by proposing an aesthetic, rational, and standardized solution.
Material And Methods: The scientific data shows the movements for which aligners are less effective. The article illustrates through a clinical case how it is possible to combine the 2D lingual appliance and aligners to compensate for the shortcomings of each and optimize their strengths during their use.
Results: When the treatment plan defines the movements to be performed, the choice of the appliance becomes clinically and logically evident according to the ongoing therapeutic sequence.
Conclusion: Aligners offer advantages that make them indispensable in the orthodontist's therapeutic arsenal, but they are not sufficient on their own.

The use of non-sugar sweeteners (NSS) has gained prominence as an alternative to reduce free sugar consumption, aligning with global efforts to combat the growing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). By providing sweetness without caloric energy, NSS are viewed as potential tools in addressing diet-related health challenges. However, their long-term effects on health remain contentious, especially within the medical community.

The fabrication of liquid crystalline (LC) organogel via supramolecular interactions between Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and lyotropic cationic surfactant containing cyanobiphenyl moiety is reported. The fabricated organogel endows dominantly viscous behavior in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and elastic behavior in n-propanol (n-PrOH), respectively. By judiciously controlling the viscosity, DMSO organogels can be drawn to form a fiber with an elongation of up to 4.

Advances in semiconductor technology have been primarily driven by exponentially reducing the size of silicon transistors and pushing the quantum limit. However, continued scaling becomes extremely difficult in accordance with Moore's law. Conversely, recent advances in monolithic and heterogeneous integration by exploring non-group IV materials envision beyond CMOS scaling.
