概要

本論文は、2025年に発表された「クリアアライナー矯正治療の臨床戦略に関する専門家コンセンサス」に基づき、その主要なテーマとガイドラインをまとめたものである。

クリアアライナー矯正治療は、従来の固定式装置とは異なる材料特性とバイオメカニクスをもち、審美性、快適性、口腔衛生の維持において優位性がある一方、症例選択や治療計画、モニタリングにおいて特有の課題を提示している。

治療の成功の鍵は、正確な難易度評価、バイオメカニクスに基づいた設計、および押し出す力の限界を理解したうえでのオーバートリートメント設計にある。本コンセンサスは、適応症の選定から合併症の管理に至るまで、エビデンスに基づいた詳細な指針を提供している。
