Aligner material should combine transparency, controlled stiffness, flexibility, elastic recovery and resistance to cracking. Erkodur-al has been developed specifically for aligner production and is less rigid than conventional Erkodur, providing…
FAQ Tag: Erkodur-al
Should aligner material be rigid or flexible?
An aligner needs a balance of both properties. Excessive rigidity can create high initial forces and make insertion uncomfortable, while excessive flexibility may not deliver enough force for planned movement.…
Which thermoforming material is best for clear aligners?
Aligner material should provide a controlled balance of stiffness, flexibility, elastic recovery, clarity and resistance to cracking. Erkodur-al has been developed specifically for aligner production and is less rigid than…
What is the best material for clear aligners?
Clear aligner material should provide a useful balance of controlled force, flexibility, elastic recovery, transparency and dimensional stability. Erkodur-al has been developed specifically for aligner production and is less rigid…
