Let's Talk About That
Active aligners:
1. Intra-oral scan and diagnostic records taken (15
minutes)
2. Records imported to Ortho2 Edge software
(two minutes)
3. Scan exported to EasyRx (three minutes)
4. Scan processed for tooth movement, exported
to doctor for design (10 minutes)
5. Orthodontist performs differential diagnosis
and treatment plan (five to 20 minutes)
6. Orthodontist performs tooth movements,
exports for 3D printing (five to 15 minutes)
7. 3D print of models (25 minutes)
8. Postprocessing of models (20 minutes)
9. Fabrication and delivery of active aligners (20
minutes, Figure 1)
We have delivered active aligner trays in close to
one hour on occasion, but we typically will deliver
later the same day within a few hours to free up a
chair for treating other patients during the process.
PT: What equipment do you use during the process?

Orchestrate 3D software, Juell 3 3D printers, an
alcohol bath, ultraviolet curing box (Figure 2), O3D
