In this presentation, I will review the current data about aligner treatment I will mainly focus on the following:
1. production technology and elements,
2. Expectations of patients and dentists during aligner treatment,
3. tools that assist us a lot in our clinical practice.
4. I will then briefly review when aligners are advantageous and in which conditions they are problematic.
