Changes in Roughness and Mechanical Properties of Invisalign® Appliances after One- and Two-Weeks Use
Invisalign® appliances show a wear effect on surface roughness and mechanical properties after one and two weeks of use, with a more significant wear effect occurring during the first week of clinical usage.

Invisalign® treatment has a lower periodontal risk than fixed lingual appliances, possibly due to removable aligners allowing easier oral hygiene.
