    Direct Printed Aligners (DPA) Versus Conventional In-House Aligners – Just a Hype or a Real Game Changer?


    Directly printed aligners (DPA) have been finding their way into our orthodontic practices for a few years now and are putting conventional aligners, manufactured using the thermoforming technique, to the test. Since with this new technology, not only the processing of a pre-produced aligner foil, but the complete production of an aligner is performed. There is a number of topics that require special attention, since numerous factors in the manufacturing process have an influence on the result. In this presentation, the in-house production of both systems will be demonstrated and the respective advantages and disadvantages will be discussed using case reports.
