Abstract

With the development of digital technology, in-house manufacturing of clear aligners is increasing. As a result, it has become possible to create more elaborate and precise aligners compared to the manual manufactur ing method. In addition, along with the technology to print clear aligners directly from a 3D printer, a material with completely different properties were also created. Since this new material with shape memory properties is created through a chemical reaction into the aligners with properties appropriate for tooth movement, only through the right processes and procedures can a safe aligner without harmful effects and excellent properties be completed. Thanks to the unique properties of this aligners, there is a possibility of overcoming the limita tions of existing clear aligners. The author explained the process of manufacturing a clear aligners using digital technology in your clinic, and summarized the things you need to know when manufacturing a new aligners using shape memory polymer.
