Enhancing Orthodontic Clear Retainers through Innovative Post-Processing Techniques

Posted: January 6, 2025
The article explores the impact of post-processing on 3D-printed orthodontic clear retainers to enhance their surface, optical, mechanical, and dimensional properties. Post-processing methods like centrifugation significantly reduce surface roughness and improve light transmission, colour stability, tensile strength, and hardness. Design modifications are recommended to ensure proper adaptation to the dentition. Proper post-processing and design protocols are crucial for achieving ideal properties in orthodontic clear retainers.
