Worldwide we notice an increasing interest and consequently rising turnovers related to aligner technique. Many laboratories are nowadays specializing in this application especially suitable for adult patient
With the help of aligners, teethrows can be corrected without brackets. The treatment is divided into many individual small steps of tooth movement. Per step, a digital model is printed and a special foil (e.g. Biolon) is thermoformed over the model. Each aligner splint is worn for approximately 2 weeks. Depending on the individual patient case, up to 35 splints per jaw will be needed.
First register the current situation of the patient’s anatomy using Dynax® mono. Then digitize the scannable impression for CAD with the help of a lab scanner.
Prepare the scan data in a suitable CAD software for the individual steps of tooth movement. Alternatively the design can be done by a partnering company, e.g. exceed.
Produce the working models in a 3D printing process for maximum time savings. Dreve offers you the choice: Print it yourself or have it printed, according to your preference.
FotoDent® biobased model is a light-curing resin that consists of 50 percent renewable raw materials. The material properties are of course ideal for model production (also in Aligner workflow). Do not forget to add an ID tag to every model. This allows the patient to recognize the correct order of his treatment on each splint.
Especially developed for new generations of printers with 385 nm: Light-curing resin for the manufacturing of dental models for orthodontics and prosthetics. Faster printing process thanks to increased performance, still maintaining the usual precision of detail. Do not forget to add an ID tag to every model. This allows the patient to recognize the correct order of his treatment on each splint.
