Thermoforming Basics
Common thermoformed appliances include hard, soft and hard/soft occlusal splints, clear retainers, clear aligners, sports mouthguards, bleaching trays, fluoride trays, orthodontic appliances, temporary appliances, surgical templates and parts of mandibular advancement devices such as the Silensor-sl. The material and thickness are selected according to the function of the appliance rather than using one material for every application.
