Hey I produce aligners using 3D. There are a few things you need to consider. First of all, printed models have to have a flat base however "tiny" you print them. You can't thermoform if it's not stable or has undercuts. Since not all teeth are always at equal height their "neck lines" height...

Upright molar in what direction? Can you provide a photo or drawing?

Hey You need to buy appropriate size bands and some medical needles at your local pharmacy. When you are buying needles make sure to buy biggest ones they have, they are marked with 18G mark here in Europe. 18G needles can fit 0.9mm wire. I am not sure if there is something like kit for space...

I meant file size, it's like 400mb. You could lower it to less than 100 and maintain similar quality.

Cade why this video format? It's too large Great job!

ClearCorrect Crystal Correct Nu Braces ClearPath Clearstep e-Clear (this is an effort by by Dr. Tae Weon Kim who invented Clear Aligners in 1998) and many, many more all over the world. There's a new module to Maestro3D Ortho Studio 2011 that allows you to produce clear aligners. Many small...

@Silewire Try smoothing the surface and ridge edges before applying vaseline. Also try to apply it in same direction, not circular smudging. Try a thicker layer, it's still thinner than foil. I'll try to take some photos next week.

Vaseline :cool: Is cheap and easy to use... in so many ways:D

Hello, it's bean a while since I posted on DNL forum so please excuse my English and spelling :) @ Avi The quickest way to produce clear aligners is, as Orthodent described, by pressure or vacuum forming over plaster model. The problem with this technique is that you can make one aligner per...

We came with the idea on our own, before we got the adhesive we used to do it without it. The silicone sheet stays inside but it gets filled with saliva in time so it needs way more cleaning. I guess that thickens depends on sheet thickness you chose and the model hight. You can form 1,5 mm...

Scheu does have adhesive, it is sold with Osamu retainer kit, I don't know if you can buy it separately At the moment I use Bredent's adhesive we got with DKZ kit. It's the same thing I guess.

Hey Don 1 If the separator you use with plaster does not work try using the spray-on separator used for fiberglass molding, it comes in pressurized spray-cans. It's very thin in it's some kind of rubber you spray on and let it dry on air. 2 Have you seen this uPrint 3D Printers costing around...

Here's some photos to spice up discussion

Hello Here's something interesting, a silicone add-on.I bought one set just to try. Real easy to work with, I am still waiting for some results to show. You can read more here http://www.bredent.co.uk/downloads/technicians/DKZ-System_GB.pdf

Most of us still do it by eyeball and hand, and it does work just fine. I hate using Scheu Durasoft, I don't like the final result. Durasoft needs to be preheated/super dry to avoid the bubbles creating while heating + silicon is too thin to do any good. We now do it by using 2 sheets, one is...

Hey Last year we had a presentation by Scheu lecturer. This system requires a digital camera, Clear aligner software and special model holder with measuring gauge... It recommended to use Scheu's Biostar or Ministar machine. This is basically a set-up process, you still need to manually cut out...
