Key Points

The study examines how composite viscosity and attachment design affect accuracy and excess in clear aligner treatments.
Comparison of high-viscosity and low-viscosity resins
Assessment of attachment accuracy
Measurement of composite excess
High-viscosity resins improve attachment accuracy but increase excess
Low-viscosity resins reduce excess but may compromise accuracy
Material choice influences clinical decision-making in clear aligner treatments

Abstract

Composite viscosity and attachment shape influence accuracy and excess. High-viscosity resins improve precision but increase excess; low-viscosity resins reduce excess but may compromise accuracy. Both material and attachment design should guide clinical choices in clear aligner treatment.
