Clear Aliners

[TomZ]

Anyone competing with Invisiline wit another clear aliner system?

 

[rosarioortholab]

A company called clearcorrect or orthocorreect I'm not exactly sure of witch name but it 's on of the 2. But it is cheaper and easier for the Dr. to participate in. My neighbor
works for invisilign and she tells me invisilign is nervous.

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 labs offer 3D clear aligners. Rapid prototyping technology is getting cheaper day by day.

Hi Teofil I am really impressed by your knowledge and the way you share and help others... How can I contact you to ask you about several issues.. they don't have a PM here?

Waiting for your answer !

have anyone used Maestro3d ortho or 3shape ortho, for clear aligners?

Seems your all into ortho stuff-ever heard of or made a NTI appliance?

 

[WireBender]

I actually have a NTI appliance that I wear!!

I've been making them about 8 years 1 every few months, I've heard when they work for migraines they work but the opposing needs like a suckdown clear aligner or some splaying can occur. some cover the lower ant 4 with a little handle over the lip some cover the centrals but opposing tend to move, & patients loose them possibly because of the small size (or ease of swallowing). A properly made clear splint (tanner system) works without the opposing problems. I charge the same for either.

And most of them are using OBJET 3D printers in order to fabricate the models. You can not really do it without it. They are very known in the ortho market, and easy to find.

Since I have been using the Maestro software along wih
Objet 3D printing, I realized how simple it is. More than could imagine i

Yes, but it mast be Eden or desctop version with 900 dpi on z- axis is enough?

 

[orthodent]

There are many folks doing it the digital way but it still violates the invisalign patent. So ethics does come into play and may lead to an interesting conversation.

UH OH
I've been getting reports that Clearcorrects trays lazer etching is sharp and creating sores in patients mouths!!! patients aren't wearing them because of this

ClearCorrect has just recently installed a number of Objet 3D printing systems, making ClearCorrect a major user of the technology in the dental industry. You can read about it in this PR: ClearCorrect Reveals Integration of Advanced Digital Orthodontic Production Using Objet’s 3D Printing Systems. Their commitment to the technology makes them the one to watch.

Invisalign tried sueing AOA/Allsee for copywrite infringement and lost...AOA was still moving teeth by hand at that time...how come they havent gone after these other companys..when does thier copywrite run out...

 

[orthodent]

Ormco (aoa) had an agreement between invisalign and them. Ormco didn't loose as much as they settled out. Ormco had technology before invisalign came around. I would like to know how clear correct is getting around the patent. I would certainly buy a printer if we knew more information about the patent and what violates and what does not. And are patents made to be violated and enforced by the one who holds it?
