SCOPING REVIEW: EFFICACY OF MOLAR DISTALIZATION USING LEAR ALIGNER
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: There are controversies on efficacy of a clear aligner regarding molar distalization globally. This study aimed to provide a scoping review on it. Objectives and Methods: This research employed a scoping review approach, collecting and analyzing articles from various digital sources such as PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Cochrane. Results: 12 studies in total were extracted and analyzed in this scoping review. Conclusions: Molar distalization by clear aligner is effective for patients with class I and II occlusion and mild to moderate tooth crowding
