Orthodontic Brackets
Today, brackets are produced through expensive and rigid injection molds or milling processes.
These methods create enormous fixed costs for tools and strongly limit design variety, resulting in generic solutions that lack a perfect individual fit for patients.
Additionally, milling processes have high scrap rates, further adding to the inefficiency of both milling and injection molding.
With ultra-precise Lithoz LCM ceramic 3D printing technology , using LithaBite material, translucent ceramic brackets can now be serially produced at impressively low cost. These 3D-printed ceramic brackets are perfectly biocompatible, highly durable and live up to the highest esthetical standards. The precision of the slot geometry's reproducibility is smaller than 8 µm. This enables the seamless integration of complex adhesive surfaces to ensure a perfect fit, making treatment shorter and significantly less painful.
