Merging Clear Aligner Therapy With Digital Smile Design to Maximize Esthetics and Minimize Tooth Reduction
Ryan Tak On Tse, BDS
The second article contains a clinical review on merging clear aligner therapy with digital smile design to maximize esthetics and minimize tooth reduction. As the authors explain, digital smile design used in combination with an esthetic pre-evaluative temporary restoration is a reliable means of minimizing the removal of tooth structure when ceramic veneers are being placed.
