Inhouse Aligners-A Review Article

Abstract

An increasing number of people are looking for alternatives to fixed orthodontic appliances as the demand for cosmetic treatments rises. The past ten years have seen a rise in the use of aligners due to consumer preference and orthodontists' desire of reduced chair time. As the price for having all machinery needed to fabricate aligners has decreased, orthodontists may choose to fabricate aligners in-house. When aligners can be manufactured in- house, it will benefit patients as well as orthodontists. Thus, this article reviews the various aspects of the in- house aligners.
