Enhancing Orthodontic Treatment with Three-Dimensional Direct Printing Aligner Material

Posted: January 20, 2025
A study compared the compressive strength of 3D direct printing aligners (3DPA) with conventional thermo-forming aligners (TFA) for clear aligner design. Results show that 3DPA material TC-85 allows for precise modifications, creating angular protrusions like power ridges, enhancing compressive strength and biomechanical capabilities. TC-85 full exhibited the highest compressive strength, indicating the clinical potential of 3D-printed aligners for orthodontic treatment.
