Clear aligner therapy: Material Chapter — Polymer Properties

In this video, Mr. Kevin Huang, Founder and CEO of Maxflex, walks us through some of the key polymer properties that make modern clear aligners safe, efficient, and comfortable for patients. Clear aligner therapy (CAT) has become the preferred method for treating malocclusions compared to traditional fixed treatments. It relies on thermoplastic polymers that apply controlled forces to teeth, guiding their movement through natural bone remodeling. The performance of clear aligners largely depends on the polymer’s chemical, physical, optical, and thermal properties, which determine comfort, effectiveness, and durability. 🌐 www.maxflexbrace.com 📩 [email protected]
