How is medical 3D printing used in orthodontics?

Medical 3D printing in recent years there are more and more practical application cases, today, the use of medical 3D printing in orthodontics as an example, to nag about medical 3D printing which things.

I, improve accuracy, reduce the error rate

In recent years, the field of orthodontics has been used in the field of 3D printing of dental products. Let's say, 3D printing invisible orthodontic braces production, the first doctor will give the patient to shoot CT, and with a professional mouth scanning instrument, to get the accurate data of the patient's mouth. The hospital will get the data to the cooperation of the denture processing institute, denture processing institute of the mechanic feedback row teeth program, program confirmed by the doctor, and then through the high-precision 3D printer prints out each step of the tooth mold, and finally according to the 3D print out of the tooth mold, heat-pressing out of the transparent customized braces.

Compared with the traditional production of dental molds, the use of medical 3D printing produced dental molds compared with the original data, the error is small, more suitable for the patient's teeth, will be more comfortable than the traditional braces.

Two, upgrading the digital diagnosis and treatment process

General orthodontic rows of teeth, the hospital will be given to the cooperation of the prosthetic dental processing to complete, the technician with the help of the third-party 3D printing services company's 3D printing equipment to print the dental mold, the production of the final invisible orthodontic braces. As one of the 3D printing service providers, Hegger Technology outputs 3D printing equipment and printing materials and other related digital oral healthcare solutions to dental laboratories. In addition to supplying dental special printers used by denture technicians, Hegger Technology has also launched a new generation of desktop-level dental 3D printers UltraCraft DS, which can be used in dental clinics, paired with a PCU mini post-processing light curing machine, and 3D printing - post-curing process of rapid operation, so that the diagnosis and treatment, access to oral data, the development of a treatment plan, the design of teeth lining up, and printing. In one step, it can be realized to allow patients to visit the clinic once and wear the teeth on the spot, which greatly improves the efficiency of the clinic.

The application of oral orthodontics is only a very small part of the medical 3D printing, it is believed that in the future medical 3D printing will be involved in more medical modules, so stay tuned.
