3D Print Clear Aligner Models
In-office fabrication of clear aligners using 3D printed models.Offer clear aligners in-office to give patients the treatment they want at a price they can afford. This application allows you to set your own fees and rapidly see a return on your investment due to the significant cost savings compared to aligner labs.
When used in conjunction with a thermoforming machine and orthodontic CAD software, full cases of aligners can be fabricated in a single day. Though you will not directly 3D print clear aligners themselves, this process significantly reduces lead times.
Key Benefits
First Day, First Tray
Provide your patients with same-day clear aligners delivered with 3D printing
Clear Retainers (Essix)
Clear retainers are a common post-treatment appliance that is frequently lost or broken. Provide outstanding patient benefit by creating a replacement same- or next-day for only a few dollars in materials cost. Similar to the method used to 3D print aligners, this can provide an outstanding benefit to your patient with minimal additional cost.
Import your raw intraoral scan into RayWare Pro and make it printable with the click of a button. Use SprintRay Pro to fabricate the model in less than 30 minutes, then post-process. Thermoform over the printed model and trim, then deliver to your patient.
Digital Bracket Removal
Deliver patient delight and reduce followup appointments by having a retainer premade for every bracket removal appointment. Provide a scan of the patient’s dentition with braces, and our team will digitally remove them, providing you with a model that you can print and use to thermoform a clear retainer.
