Dynamic mechanical and thermal properties of clear aligners after thermoforming and aging

Abstract Background Based on the role of properties of aligner materials on their efficiency, we aimed to assess their thermomechanical properties after thermoforming and simulated aging. Methods In this experimental study, 96 samples of polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) aligners (Duran and E...
