Clear Aligners or Traditional Braces? An Effective Plan in the Ortho-Perio Treatment of Gingival Recessions.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Gingival recession, a common clinical condition characterized by apical migration of the gingival margin, often presents in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic forces can influence periodontal tissues positively or negatively, depending on the type of appliance used. The debate continues between clear aligners and traditional fixed braces concerning their effectiveness in managing such cases within interdisciplinary treatment plans. Methods: A prospective, randomized clinical trial was conducted with 60 patients (30 per group) aged 20-35 years presenting with anterior gingival recession and mild-to-moderate malocclusion. Group A received treatment using clear aligners (Invisalign®), and Group B was treated with conventional metal brackets. Periodontal parameters, including gingival recession depth (GRD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and plaque index (PI), were recorded at baseline and after 12 months. Recession coverage was performed surgically at 6 months. Statistical analysis was conducted using paired Results: After 12 months, Group A showed significantly greater reduction in GRD (1.68 ± 0.39 mm) compared to Group B (1.21 ± 0.42 mm), Conclusion: Clear aligners demonstrate a more favorable outcome in the interdisciplinary management of gingival recession when compared to traditional braces. They offer better plaque control, enhanced periodontal healing, and improved esthetics.
