Over the last few decades, there has been a significant increase in the number of patients seeking orthodontic treatment due to the esthetics of clear aligners. However, clear aligners rely on accurate tracking and if not achieved, can lead to frustrations. Data from 60 comprehensive clear aligner patients were analyzed. The OrthoFX Rescue Aligner intervened in the cases that were not tracking to get the patient back on track. The Rescue Aligner is designed to quickly and cost-effectively correct treatment lag up to a four to eight weeks deviation. The hyper elastic rescue aligners could produce movement ranges up to at least 0.5mm per tray. This retrospective study indicates the potential for further prospective clinical and laboratory studies with improved methods such as 3D superimposition, remote monitoring as well as calibrated inter and intra observer visual inspection methods for better assessment on tracking of each tooth per aligner.
