Question 1

What thickness should clear aligner material be?

Accepted Answer

Clear aligner sheets are commonly used in the approximate 0.6 to 1.0 mm range, depending on material properties and the treatment protocol. Erkodur-al is available in several aligner-oriented thicknesses. Increasing thickness generally increases stiffness, so thickness should be selected as part of the force system rather than only for durability.
