When I first heard about clear aligners in the early 2000s (the US Food and Drug Administration approved the use of clear aligners to straighten teeth in 1980), it must have sounded like science fiction.

Why do we need to straighten teeth? How do we do it? What is the best way? These are the big questions nowadays, and I think that the answers to these questions, as well as how we actually do these treatments, have changed over the past decades.

In recent years, the medical community has made significant strides in understanding the intricate connections between oral health and overall systemic health. However, as we delve deeper into this crucial relationship, it’s becoming increasingly clear that we’ve only scratched the surface.
