Integrated manufacturing of direct 3D-printed clear aligners

The inception of the laboratory work for a removable tooth moving appliance construction by sectioning teeth from malocclusion model to align them with wax and achieve minor dental correction has evolved into state digital planning manufacturing wide spectrum malocclusion. disruptive technology directly printing clear aligners drawn clinician researcher's interest in orthodontic fraternity contemporarily. This workflow enables development an in-house aligner system complete control over desired thickness, extent, attachments; also technically resource-efficient greater accuracy excluding all intermediate steps involved thermoforming method manufacturing. promising exploratory subject demands be well-received further research-based improvements. article intends summarize literature evidence.
