3Shape Indirect Bonding Application Now Integrated
with Henry Schein Orthodontics Bracket Systems
3Shape recently announced that its indirect bonding orthodontic application
is now digitally integrated with Henry Schein Orthodontics' bracket systems,
enabling orthodontists and laboratories to virtually plan patient treatment, digitally
place brackets, directly print transfer trays and eliminate the need for an analog
model and vacuum press.
The bracket systems available from Henry Schein Orthodontics include Carriere
SLX Self-Ligating Brackets, Maestro Mini-Twin Brackets and Neolucent Plus Ceramic
Bracket Systems, which can be accessed directly from within 3Shape's orthodontic
software.
Using 3Shape indirect bonding software, treatment planning and bracket
placement of virtual libraries are made with a digital study model of the patient.
Study models are created using a Trios intraoral scan, conventional impression
scanner and/or a 3Shape dental lab scanner. After treatment planning, the bracket
systems are placed in the patient using transfer trays, also designed with the
3Shape indirect bonding software and printed with a 3-D printer.
More than 150 original bracket libraries and orthodontic solution providers
are integrated with 3Shape orthodontic software.

Dentsply Sirona Orthodontics
announced the expansion of treatment
indications for the MTM (Minor Tooth
Movement) Clear*Aligner. The aligner
combines proven orthodontic techniques
with digital modeling to provide
dental professionals with a streamlined
solution for treating minor anterior
misalignments.
MTM Clear*Aligner is engineered
to deliver the space and force needed
to accomplish tooth movement. The
technology utilizes an open pathway
architecture that allows teeth to move
easily into the desired positions. The
aligner uses integrated "force points"
to provide a greater range of tooth
movements, while making aligner placement and removal easy for patients.
