Physicochemical and Biological Properties of Smartee-Invisalign in Patients with Malocclusion

Abstract

We tested physicochemical and biological properties of Smartee-Invisalign and found that it had superior light transmittance, good physical stability, and relatively unchanged tensile strength, elasticity modulus, and bending strength over time. It had good antibacterial properties and minimal toxic effects on oral cells and was thus safe to be wear. Physically, Smartee-Invisalign can correct malocclusion, and improve the patient’s chewing ability and quality of life without increasing the risk of periodontal bleeding. Mentally, it can improved patients’ psychological state, including engaging in more natural interpersonal interactions and significantly reducing depression and anxiety. Furthermore, it improved patients’ self-approval and self-aesthetics thus helping these patients to develop a healthier mental state. In conclusion, Smartee-Invisalign effectively improved the physical and mental health of patients with malocclusion.
