Orthodontic Applications: Precise Correction, Envisioning Perfect Smiles
- Accurate Printing for Clear Staging Models: Our resin precisely prints every stage model required for clear aligners, delicately reproducing minute tooth movements. This empowers dentists to design highly accurate orthodontic treatment plans.
- Heat Resistance, No Deformation Under Pressure: With a heat deflection temperature of up to 120∘C, #3160 resin ensures your dental model teeth remain stable and free from deformation during the thermoforming process for retainers and aligners, providing a reliable foundation.
- Matte Surface for Easier Diagnosis and Manipulation: The natural color and matte finish not only allow dentists to clearly mark gum lines and observe fine details but also effectively reduce glare, making the diagnostic and manipulation process smoother and more efficient. This is ideal for creating a dental study model.
Implantology Applications: Pinpoint Accuracy for Secure Implants
- Ultra-High Precision for Flawless Guide Positioning:
Our resin achieves an assembly accuracy of ±20 microns, ensuring perfect alignment of dental implant model guides with the patient’s oral structure. 90% of facial surface accuracy is controlled within 100μm, with edge and undercut point accuracy reaching 50μm, providing ultimate precision for implant surgeries. - High Hardness, Durable for Repeated Insertions:
The surface hardness of #3160 resin rivals that of gypsum. Even with repeated insertion and removal of implant analogs, the model resists breakage, ensuring structural integrity throughout the procedure and significantly enhancing operational convenience and reliability for your dental tooth model. - Low Creep, Undistorted for Long-Term Storage:
The excellent low creep properties ensure that the dental model remains undeformed even after long-term storage, guaranteeing perfect alignment between implants and restorations. This facilitates long-term patient follow-ups and future prosthetic connections.
Restoration Models: Precision Support for Natural Aesthetic Results
- Crisp Margins, High Fit Accuracy:
Whether the final restoration is a crown, bridge, or veneer, the Dental Model Resin #3160 delivers highly detailed and dimensionally accurate working models. With crisp margins and smooth surfaces, it provides a reliable foundation for designing restorations with excellent fit and comfort for the patient. - High Strength, Meeting Laboratory Demands for Repeated Manipulation:
Its outstanding flexural strength (＞60 MPa) ensures the model can withstand repeated handling during trial fittings, adjustments, and finishing without damage or deformation—significantly improving laboratory workflow and durability.
How to use dental moldel resin to make clear aligners
- Capture digital scans or impressions of the patient’s teeth using an intraoral scanner or traditional dental impressions.
- Use specialized software to create a digital model of the patient’s teeth and design the orthodontic treatment plan, including the desired teeth movement.
- Employ a 3D printer to produce dental models of the patient’s teeth using biocompatible resin material.
- Fabricate clear thermoplastic aligner trays by vacuum forming or thermoforming over the 3D printed dental models to create the desired shape for each stage of the treatment plan.
- Finish the orthodontic aligners by trimming any excess material and adding necessary attachments or features.
- Instruct the patient on the proper use and care of the orthodontic aligners, including wearing schedules and maintenance.
- Conduct regular check-ups and adjustments to track progress and ensure the treatment plan is proceeding as expected.
Consistent Output, Unvarying Quality
The dimensional tolerance for full-plate dental teeth model printing is controlled within 0.08 mm, ensuring that the dimensional accuracy and stability of every batch of models meet the highest standards, suitable for the high-volume daily use in dental laboratories.
