| Abstract | Background With the advent of clear aligner therapy and their increasing popularity across the orthodontic field, many software packages have been introduced that implement the concept of virtual setups and consequently, the fabrication of in-house aligners. The objective of the present study was to evaluate and compare the differences in the resultant tooth movements when the same tooth movement values of virtual setups are implemented into four different software packages for clear aligner treatment, in patients with various degrees of dental crowding. Methods Forty-four stereolithography (STL) files of adult Invisalign®-treated patients were included in this in silico study and were divided according to the amount of existent dental crowding into 2 groups; Moderate (2.5–5 mm), and Severe (> 5 mm). Initial STL files were imported into the other three tested software programs (Ortho Analyzer®, Maestro 3D Ortho Studio®, Blue Sky Plan®), and the teeth were moved to replicate those performed in the virtual setup from ClinCheck® Pro. The final outcome was then exported from the four software packages, with ClinCheck® Pro STL files used as references, whereas those from the remaining software considered targets. Superimpositions were performed afterwards using Medit Link software between reference and target STL files to calculate the overall deviation. Results Statistically significant deviation values were recorded between ClinCheck-Ortho Analyzer, and those recorded with both ClinCheck-Maestro and ClinCheck-Blue Sky in the moderate crowding group for the upper and lower models (p < 0.05). However, the differences in ClinCheck-Maestro and ClinCheck-Blue Sky deviation values were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). In the severe crowding group, statistically significant variances were documented among the investigated software programs, in contrast to the benchmark (p < 0.05). As per the reported outcomes, the highest deviation was attributed to ClinCheck-Ortho Analyzer, followed by ClinCheck-Blue Sky and ClinCheck-Maestro (p < 0.05). Conclusions With the same tooth movement values provided, the four examined programs produced diverse final virtual tooth setups, with greater variance in cases of severe dental crowding. This deviation arises since every software operates using a distinct algorithm, with a different segmentation method and rotation center for the moving teeth. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
