Dentsply Sirona and Dreve have commenced clinical evaluations for the FDA-cleared Primeprint Direct Aligner resin. Preclinical data from the University of Ulm shows elastic recovery properties that outperform traditional thermoforming materials, which often lose force efficiency within days. Shifting to direct-printed aligners eliminates the need for physical models, potentially reducing plastic waste by 80% and labor by 50%. This move signals a systemic transition toward high-precision, single-step orthodontic manufacturing at scale. 🦷🚀 #3DPrinting #DigitalDentistry #AdditiveManufacturing #Orthodontics #DentsplySirona
