'Low to moderate level' of certainty in regard to specific clear aligner therapy tooth movements' efficiency was identified. Clear aligners may produce clinically acceptable outcomes that could be comparable to fixed appliance therapy for buccolingual inclination of upper and lower incisors in mild to moderate malocclusions. However, not all potential clinical scenarios have been assessed in the included studies. Most of the tooth movements may not be predictable enough to be accomplished with only one set of trays with clear aligners despite the recent advances in technology.
