Published studies

Selected publications

01

Helix Aligner Treatment Efficacy — Prospective Multicenter Study, 2024

n = 312 patients, 14 practices, 18-month follow-up. Mean PAR score reduction 79.4% (±6.2%). Chair-time 23% lower than fixed-appliance benchmarks.

02

Sapphire Bracket Friction Coefficient versus Ceramic Alternatives, 2023

In vitro pin-on-disk tribometry. Single-crystal sapphire: 0.068 µ vs polycrystalline ceramic mean 0.142 µ — 52% reduction in kinetic friction.

03

NiTi Archwire Force-Deflection Comparison Across Manufacturers, 2022

ISO 15841 three-point bending at 37 °C. NV-NI-014 batch-to-batch CV: 3.1% vs competitor mean 8.7% — measurably tighter consistency.
