Therefore, with an aligner having a uniform thickness, a pulling force is applied only to the crown, and it is difficult to move to the root. When only the crown is moved by applying a force, the problem that the crown moves while tilting frequently occurs. Eventually, the root remains at the original position and appears to have moved on the surface, but with the passage of time, a “return” occurs that returns to the original position. Since the direct aligner can change the thickness of the aligner for each spot, the magnitude and direction of the force applied to the teeth can be controlled, and this return can be reduced.
