Aligner Sheets

Clear orthodontic aligners are the most commonly used type of aligner sheets today. Most orthodontic practices prefer these aligners due to their transparency and reflectiveness. Aligner sheets are custom-made to fit every patient’s dental formula. They are produced using 3D printing technology after a dental scan has been taken.

Smart aligner sheets are embedded with small indicators in them to provide a visual cue on how much pressure is being exerted on the teeth. This optimizes the treatment regime because orthodontists are able to know with precision that certain movements are in order. When patients wear these special teeth aligner trays, the indicators turn from one color to another to show how much aligner pressure the patient’s mouth is experiencing.

Correction sheets, also known as adjustment aligner sheets, are used to refine or make the last small adjustments to a patient’s alignment plan. They are usually employed after the main series of aligner trays have completed an orthodontic treatment. During this period, correction sheets are meant to add new increments of pressure on the teeth to make necessary final adjustments. Aligners conform to the new shape of the correction sheets as the orthodontist casts them. This gives even more close guidance to the specific tooth movements required during orthodontic treatment.

Premium aligner sheets are used to patients who will accept nothing less than the top-end aligner product can give. Often made from the latest thermoplastic materials, these aligner sheets promise the highest degree of flexibility, strength, and patient comfort. They are more subtle on the mouth because the plastic is highly refined. Their durability means they can withstand longer orthodontic procedures without wear and tear.
