Abstract
Objective: Clear aligners are an alternative to conventional orthodontic appliances, and are increasingly indicated due to their discreet aesthetics and comfort for patients. The search for an aesthetic appearance plays a significant role in the demand for restorative dental treatments. The aim is to find out the real benefits of clear aligners compared to conventional orthodontic appliances in the context of aesthetic restorative treatment. Issues related to stability of results, treatment time, patient comfort and positive psychological impact are addressed. Methodology: the present study is a narrative literature review that used the following databases: Pubmed (NIH), SciELO, Medline and Google Scholar, and searched for articles published between the years 2013 to 2023 and after following the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 18 articles were considered eligible. Results: Aesthetic restorative treatment involves improving the appearance of teeth, whether through tooth whitening, direct or indirect restorations, porcelain veneers, among other procedures. Clear aligners can play an important role in this process, allowing for a less invasive and more conservative approach. However, on the other hand, there are conventional braces, which, despite being unaesthetic, can play roles that aesthetic braces cannot. Conclusion: Although transparent aligners have many advantages, especially in terms of comfort and aesthetics, the movements generated for the treatment of more serious defects are still limited compared to conventional orthodontic appliances.
