Struggling with Aligner Attachments? Achieve the Perfect Fit

Ensure a Perfect Fit Every Time

As a dentist, you know that achieving a precise fit for aligner attachments is critical to the success of orthodontic treatments. Unfortunately, it’s not always smooth sailing. Common challenges like poor attachment placement, excess material, and stability issues can disrupt an otherwise straightforward treatment plan.

If you’ve ever found yourself grappling with aligner attachments that just won’t stay in place, you’re not alone, and thankfully, there's a solution.

AlignerFlow LC from VOCO is designed specifically to address these issues, streamlining the process of creating secure, stable, and well-fitting attachments with ease.

Struggling with Aligner Attachments?

A simple definition of CAD/CAM dentistry is the use of digital software to design and manufacture dental restorations and prostheses. CAD stands for computer-aided design and CAM stands for computer-aided manufacturing. The technology can be used to create crowns, dentures, inlays, onlays, bridges and veneers among other things. The speed of the CAD/CAM process allows for dental prosthetics to be designed, manufactured and delivered to the patient in quick time, sometimes the same day. The wider system of using computer assisted technologies to produce restorations is known as CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Aesthetic Ceramics).

When Attachments Don’t Quite Fit

It’s frustrating when attachments don't bond properly, leading to poor positioning, debonding, difficulty during the removal process, and dissatisfied patients.

These issues can result from various factors:

Inaccurate placement: It’s tough to ensure precise placement of attachments, especially in tight areas of the mouth.
Excess composite material: Leftover material can interfere with the fit of the aligner or cause discomfort for the patient.
Stability and durability: Attachments must stay intact throughout the treatment duration, and frequent adjustments or repairs are not ideal.

These challenges can delay treatments, lead to patient dissatisfaction, and increase chair time. The need for a more reliable, efficient solution is clear.

The Solution: AlignerFlow LC

AlignerFlow LC addresses these frustrations head-on, providing you with the precision and control you need to achieve a flawless fit, every time.

1. Precision Application with Perfect Flowability

AlignerFlow LC’s specially formulated flowability makes it easy to fill the template splint with accuracy. This means less excess material and fewer adjustments—leading to a smoother workflow and ensuring attachments are placed exactly where they should be. This reduces the chances of debonding or misaligned attachments that could otherwise cause treatment delays or discomfort for the patient.

2. Fluorescence for Easy Detection

One of the standout features of AlignerFlow LC is its fluorescence under UV-A light. This innovation allows you to detect even the smallest residues of composite material both during the application process and upon removal. This added control ensures that no excess composite is left behind, making it easier to achieve a clean, professional finish. Additionally, at the end of the treatment, this fluorescence ensures complete removal of attachments without damaging the enamel

3. Long-lasting Stability

Stability and durability are non-negotiable when it comes to aligner attachments. With AlignerFlow LC’s impressive 83% filler content, you can rest assured that the attachments will maintain their stability and abrasion resistance throughout the treatment period. The high filler content ensures that the force exerted by aligners is fully transferred to the teeth, supporting effective and timely treatment outcomes.

Simplifying Your Workflow and Saving Time

Dentists and orthodontists often face time-consuming workflows, particularly when working with aligners and attachments. AlignerFlow LC simplifies and streamlines this process. The ability to precisely apply the material, quickly cure it through a transparent template, and easily remove any excess or residuals ensures that you spend less time in the chair while delivering better results.

No more second-guessing your attachments, no more dealing with frequent debonding, and no more struggling to remove remnants. AlignerFlow LC ensures the process is quick, efficient, and effective, every step of the way.
