Printed aligners are the next step to thermoformed aligner treatment. Designing and printing aligners without needing models takes the workflow to a different level. Companies are in the course of optimizing printed aligner resin properties while researchers are continuously investigating printed aligners in terms of material properties, treatment outcome, and safety. Printed aligners possess advantages and disadvantages which are to be mentioned, while new technology can be incorporated to advance printed aligner's technology.
