CASE REPORTIn-House 3D-Printed Shape Memory Aligners for Retreatment after Fixed Retainer FailureMATIAS GABRIEL SIVAK DDS, PhD, YONG-MIN JO DMD, MSD, PhD, RAVINDRA NANDA BDS, MDS, PhD, TILL E. BECHTOLD DMD, MS, PhDDrs. Sivak, Jo, Nanda, and Bechtold demonstrate the digital design and in-house 3D-printing of customized aligners with thermomechanical shape memory, a property that makes them flexible enough for easy insertion upon exposure to hot water but allows them to regain their shape upon cooling to body temperature. |
