Deltaface Aligner Software

Description

Deltaface Aligner Designing Software
Deltaface Aligner is a clear aligner design software for orthodontists and dental technicians. It allows for the creation of custom invisible aligners through thermoforming or direct 3D printing.

Accurate and Fast Tooth Recognition
This step is essential for the software so that it can identify the gum and each tooth. The user enters the mesial and distal points of each tooth to be moved, the rest of the operation is fully automated. An adjustment of the contour of each tooth remains possible.

Adjustment of Virtual Roots and Center of Resistance
This step determines the origin of the angles and the movements of each tooth. It also allows to precisely adjust the axis and the center of resistance of the teeth. A virtual root is added.

Aligner Set Up
Setup is the most important step in the alignment process. It consists in virtually moving the teeth to the intended outcome. The software gives you complete control over the treatment plan for advanced customization of each case. The number of aligners to reach the goal is calculated in real time with each new movement. Maximum movement values are adjustable for each tooth, depending on different parameters, such as the patient’s age or the elasticity of the aligners. Complex movements can be accelerated by adding attachments, stripping (IPR) is therefore simulated. Occlusion and collisions can be controlled in real time. It is also very easy to introduce independent sequences to manage for example a prior distalization or an over-correction. So, to avoid any confusion, a 3D engraving systematically includes the step number.

Treatment Simulation
The treatment plan with stripping data, attachments positioning, and movements are displayed in an animated layout. A detailed digital report includes all this information in a PDF format.

Export for Thermoform or Direct Print Aligners
The thermoforming technique is the reference technology to produce the aligners. It consists in printing a model for each step of the treatment, thermoforming a plastic sheet, which will be then trimmed and polished.

Consequently, Aligner exports information to automate the process of trimming the aligners after thermoforming that can be used with several trimmers on the market.

Direct 3D printing of aligners is more innovative and is gradually gaining market share, especially with the emergence of more suitable resins. It is a major breakthrough in the field of invisible orthodontics, and we are sure that in a few years this technique will be widespread because it offers many advantages notably: better precision, saving of time by eliminating the steps of thermoforming, cutting and polishing; it also allows a saving of resin by eliminating the need to print the models, which has an ecological virtue.
