Editing Orthodontic Aligners (section)

== Clinical Complications ==
* '''Treatment Lag:''' Occurs when the biological movement of the teeth does not keep pace with the aligner sequence.
* '''Root Resorption:''' Though generally lower than fixed braces, excessive force can still lead to shortening of the tooth roots.
* '''Posterior Open Bite:''' A common side effect where the thickness of the plastic prevents the molars from touching properly at the end of treatment.
