Controlling root movement is one of the greatest challenges in orthodontic treatment with aligners, like Invisalign aligners. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) integration into ClinCheck, enabling bone and root visualisation, allows a more accurate follow-up of the teeth position. This study aims to compare torque measurements of the upper central incisors with and without CBCT and relate them to the upper incisor inclination and facial biotype.

Coronal torque is one of the key factors in orthodontic treatment. An adequate torque value has an impact on aesthetics and soft tissue profile. The aim of this quantitative, comparative and observational longitudinal cohort study was to analyze the efficacy of the maxillary central incisor coronal torque in the Invisalign system and evaluate the relation between coronal torque movement and patient's facial biotype.
