%X This research assesses the ability of Clear Aligner Therapy (CAT) to reduce root angulations in the SQ anterior teeth following treatment in adult patients. A retrospective design was used essentially and data were obtained from cephalometric X-rays of 30 patients who had undergone CAT treatment. Altogether, using statistical analysis, the present outcomes infer moderate success in handling angular adjustments, reflected in parameters which include UI-SN, UI-FH, and UI-LI. But, increase in the Overjet and Wits values were restricted, which shows the difficulty of managing intricate skeletal problems. These results concur with other research, indicating that CAT is adequate for treating mild to moderate angulations but needs other approaches for the treatment of moderately severe and severe angulations. The findings highlight that the predictability of CAT for orthodontic treatment demands new or improved technologies and accuracy of treatment planning.
