Dr. James Mah (Dental) co-authored "The Impact of Buccopalatal Translation and Trimline Design on Clear Aligners: An In Vitro Study of the Upper Central Incisor," which published in the Journal of Aligner Orthodontics. The study focused on the biomechanical dynamics of clear aligners in managing translational movement, and its findings underscored the importance of careful aligner design in achieving the desired orthodontic outcomes.

Mah also co-authored “In vitro biomechanics of divot use, and their placement, in orthodontic aligner therapy,” which published in the journal Orthodontics & Craniofacial Research on February 1. The study evaluated biomechanics of an aligner utilizing divots and the effect of their vertical placement on the right maxillary central incisor.
