**Teeth Under Plastic**
Aligners cover teeth 20+ hours a day, and a new wave of products claims that's creating a hidden caries risk. But is that the real story, or just marketing?
The research shows aligners aren't biologically neutral, but the biggest risk factor isn't the tray, it's the patient. Preexisting white spots, frequent soda intake, and poor hygiene drive most of the outcomes we see.
