FM Technique in Orthodontic Clear Aligner Therapy: A Single-Arm Clinical Study
Sponsor: Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine
Summary
This trial tests whether a new method (FM) for moving back teeth can shorten clear-aligner treatment. All participants use FM, which moves the canine and first molar back together instead of one tooth at a time like the standard method. There is no comparison group; results will be compared with published studies and past records to plan a larger direct comparison. Participants wear FM aligners, have check-ups, scans, and photos at the start and at about 3 months, then check-ups every 1-3 months, for about 6 months total. People aged 12-45 with misaligned teeth needing back teeth moved back, healthy gums, and no need for tooth removal or jaw surgery can join.
