The science behind Efficacy:
🧬 Evaluation of different designs of 3D printed clear aligners on mandibular premolar extrusion using force/moment measurement devices and digital image correlation method
🔥 Open access: KJO
🌟 Highlights:
- Tera Harz Clear is a clear aligner material that exhibits superior mechanical properties compared to conventional thermoformed aligners.
- The shape memory properties of Tera Harz Clear allow for controlled and predictable force application during orthodontic treatment, improving the efficiency of tooth movement.
- Compared to other photopolymer resins, Tera Harz Clear demonstrated a higher flexural strength and better elasticity, making it suitable for long-term orthodontic applications.
- The material’s ability to maintain its structural integrity under cyclic loading conditions ensures sustained orthodontic force over time.
- Direct 3D printing of TC85DAC eliminates the need for thermoforming, reducing inaccuracies introduced by the traditional fabrication process.
- The unique mechanical properties of
TC85DAC enable customization of aligner thickness and stiffness, optimizing force distribution for different clinical cases.
