A clinical case shows improved occlusal balance after clear aligner therapy, indicating the value of digital analysis.

The primary aim is to evaluate changes in occlusal function following clear aligner treatment using T-Scan analysis.
A 42-year-old female patient with Class II malocclusion was treated with Smilers® clear aligners for nine months.
Digital occlusal analysis using T-Scan was performed before treatment and one month post-treatment.
Comparative assessment of occlusal force distribution and timing was conducted.
Pre-treatment analysis revealed significant left-side dominance in occlusal force distribution (67.9% left, 32.1% right).
Post-treatment analysis showed a more balanced distribution (52.4% left, 47.6% right).
Occlusion time decreased to 0.25 seconds, and disocclusion time decreased to 0.08 seconds, both within normal physiological ranges.

Bozhkova et al. (2026) studied this question.
