How to Make Nearly Invisible Teeth Aligners for a Simple Teeth Straightening Solution

Written by Ultradent Products Inc. | September 04, 2019
The bottom line is that dentists aren't just dentists—you're also business owners! But many dentists refer out their orthodontic business, essentially giving away the massive revenue that this part of dental practice offers. However, the simplicity of clear aligners has provided a way for you to easily and affordably offer effective orthodontic solutions to your patients.
 
Clear aligners have swept the country and now account for a sizeable chunk of the orthodontic market every year. Because they have a nearly invisible look, are low maintenance, and are easily removable they continue to attract patients as the market for an alternative to brackets continues to grow.
When you use Ultradent’s Thermo Clone™ VPS impression material, the process for getting patients set up with clear aligners is as easy as taking an impression for a crown. Follow these easy steps using ThermoClone VPS impression material and you’ll have impressions ready to send off to the lab for clear aligners in minutes!
