Direct-Print Aligners
Direct 3D Printing
DigiLine® aligners are directly 3D printed from a digital file. This manufacturing approach allows the aligner geometry to be created as designed rather than formed over a physical model.
Direct printing also enables greater control over the appliance itself, including variable thickness within a single aligner and localized design control to influence force delivery.
More Control Within the Aligner
Direct printing supports consistent geometry, engineered thickness, and localized design control to influence force delivery.
Targeted Force Delivery
Variable thickness gives the design greater control over where force is placed within the aligner. Specific areas can be engineered around the treatment needs of individual teeth instead of relying on one uniform tray thickness.
This built-in design control may reduce reliance on mechanical compensation such as composite attachments during early treatment stages.
Designed Into the Appliance
Variable thickness supports localized design control to influence force delivery while keeping the biomechanics within the aligner design itself.
Thermal Reactivation
DigiLine® aligners incorporate shape-recovery properties that allow the material to be thermally reactivated with warm water. Reactivation helps the aligner recover its intended shape before reinsertion.
The combination of direct-print design and shape recovery is intended to support more consistent force behavior over time.
A Simple Daily Interaction
Thermal reactivation gives patients a straightforward way to help the aligner recover its intended form before wear.
Designed for Controlled Force Delivery and Fit
The direct-print approach is designed to maintain controlled appliance geometry and force distribution. It also avoids the uneven material deformation associated with pressure-forming over a model.
Controlled force delivery and shape-recovery properties are designed with patient comfort in mind, while reduced reliance on attachments may support a cleaner esthetic experience.
Reduced Reliance on Attachments
Localized design control may reduce reliance on composite attachments as the primary way to influence movement during early stages of treatment.
