Study of Damage and Microplastic Release in Clear Aligners Under Cyclic Loads

In this research work, the mechanical performance of a thermoformed clear dental aligner is studied. Its performance is evaluated under the cyclic compression test, which is designed to simulate the occlusal forces applied on the aligner during swallowing operations for its entire usage period. The...
