Descrição dos attachments utilizados no tratamento com alinhadores ortodônticos

Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the difference between the types of attachments and the functioning of these devices in invisible aligners, from the comparison of the positions in which the attachments are inserted and how this impacts the effectiveness of orthodontic movement, as well as the influence The position and shape of the attachments influence the biomechanics of orthodontic movement in clear aligners. After discussing the characteristics and functions of attachments, the study concluded that the devices contributed to the development of aligners over the years. It is worth noting that the orthodontic clinical knowledge obtained with buccal brackets and their biomechanics is not sufficient for a complete understanding of the biomechanics of aligners, including the use of attachments. Not only, it concluded that the shape and size of the attachments act as essential actors in the adaptation of the aligners and, combined with the adequate amount of activation, allows a predictable treatment with aligners
