Modern aligner therapy has transformed the way we approach dental and orthodontic treatments, by delivering aesthetics, comfort, and convenience. With personalised treatment plans, shorter durations, and technological advancements, aligners have marked a transformation from orthodontic measures such as braces.
But the aligner process isn't perfect yet, as challenges with attachment fit, control during application and removal, and attachment stability persist. This is where AlignerFlow LC by Voco steps in, offering solutions that address these issues and elevate the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment.
AlignerFlow LC is a composite designed specifically for aligner attachments. With its innovative properties, AlignerFlow LC redefines what it means to achieve precise fit and shape. Keep reading to find out why AlignerFlow LC is a fantastic choice for any dentist striving for excellence in every aligner treatment.
With AlignerFlow LC, Voco has created a composite that optimises the attachment workflow, streamlining the process all the way from production to removal.
AlignerFlow LC is a composite that not only fills the template splint with heightened accuracy but also offers fluorescence under UV-A light. The fluorescent composite can also reduce problems related the de-bonding the orthodontic bracket[1].
The fluorescent feature also enables precise control over excess material and artifacts, helping you to ensure flawless results. And guess what? At the end of the treatment, even the tiniest residues become visible, making thorough removal quick and effortless while keeping the enamel unaffected.
Achieving impeccable aligner attachments with AlignerFlow LC is an easy, streamlined process. Follow these simple steps to ensure a seamless application process:
When it comes to aligner attachments, stability and abrasion resistance are key factors in achieving long-lasting outcomes. AlignerFlow LC surpasses expectations with its impressive filler content of 83% w/w. This high level of stability ensures that any force exerted by the aligner splints is efficiently transferred from the attachment to the teeth throughout the entire course of treatment. You can count on AlignerFlow LC to provide exceptional strength and reliability for your patients, leaving no room for compromise or discomfort.
As well as creating firm and reliable aligner attachments, you can also rely on AlignerFlow LC for occlusal build-ups using the injectable technique or for the cementation of lingual retainers. Embrace the flexibility and expand your treatment options, all while maintaining the highest standards of quality and aesthetics.
Simplicity and convenience are at the heart of AlignerFlow LC's design. The composite comes in user-friendly NDT® syringes, containing 2 × 2g of composite. AlignerFlow LC is available in shades A1, A2, and A3, which ensure a seamless blend that creates a natural look, catering to your patients' diverse aesthetic needs. AlignerFlow LC includes application cannulas of two diameters (0.9 and 1.2mm), allowing you to select your handling preferences.
A simple definition of CAD/CAM dentistry is the use of digital software to design and manufacture dental restorations and prostheses. CAD stands for computer-aided design and CAM stands for computer-aided manufacturing. The technology can be used to create crowns, dentures, inlays, onlays, bridges and veneers among other things. The speed of the CAD/CAM process allows for dental prosthetics to be designed, manufactured and delivered to the patient in quick time, sometimes the same day. The wider system of using computer assisted technologies to produce restorations is known as CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Aesthetic Ceramics).
