Fabrication Process: Crafting Perfection Through Thermoforming

At Clear Moves Aligners, the journey of transforming a digital orthodontic plan into a precise, comfortable, and effective aligner doesn’t end with 3D printing. The next crucial step is fabrication, where we shape our printed models into final aligners using advanced thermoforming techniques. Our state-of-the-art Fabrication Department is equipped with 10 Bio Star and Mini Star machines, which play a pivotal role in this transformative process.

The Thermoforming Process

Preparation of 3D Models

After the 3D models are printed and pass quality assurance checks, they are carefully cleaned and prepared for the thermoforming process. Each model represents a stage in the patient’s orthodontic treatment plan.

Selection of Thermoplastic Sheets

We use high-quality thermoplastic sheets that are biocompatible, durable, and transparent. These sheets are specifically designed for orthodontic applications, ensuring they meet the stringent requirements of strength and clarity

Heating and Molding

The thermoplastic sheet is placed in one of our Bio Star or Mini Star machines, where it is heated to the optimal temperature. Once the sheet becomes pliable, it is molded over the 3D model. The machines apply uniform pressure to ensure the plastic conforms accurately to the model’s contours.

Cooling and Trimming

After molding, the aligner is allowed to cool and harden. It is then carefully trimmed and polished to remove any excess material and ensure a smooth, comfortable fit for the patient.

Advanced Thermoforming Technology

The Bio Star and Mini Star machines are renowned for their precision and reliability. These advanced thermoforming systems are equipped with features that ensure consistent quality and performance
