Abstract: The popularity of clear aligner treatments (CATs) have risen multiple folds in the past decade or so due to a demand for an aesthetic appeal and comfort. However, CATs have limitations in achieving certain tooth movements. To enhance predictability, resin attachments have been introduced. This review examines various types of attachments used with CATs, exploring their configurations, efficacy, and optimal placement. Selecting appropriate attachments based on the malocclusion is crucial for precise and stable treatment outcomes. Understanding and utilizing these auxiliary features can optimize the effectiveness of clear aligner treatments, meeting the expectations of adult patients seeking discreet and comfortable orthodontic solutions.
