Abstract: In recent years, clear aligner technique has developed rapidly and has been widely used in the treatment of various malformations. However, the function of its orthodontic force is complex and its biomechanical mechanism is still unclear. Construction of the mechanical model of clear aligner and precise study on dynamic orthodontic process are hotspots and difficulties of the current research on clear aligner technique. Therefore, this paper reviews the biomechanical research progress of clear aligner technique.

Key words: clear aligner, biomechanics, finite element analysis
