ActiveMemory™ Polymer
The Science of Smart Aligners
Precision丨Predictability丨Unmatched Performance
What is ActiveMemory™ Polymer (AMP)?
ActiveMemory™ Polymers (AMP) have the ability to return to their original shape and obtain initial force when activated by external stimuli such as heat.
Self-restoring
99.4% shape recovery (within ±0.1mm) with heat excitation.
Stable in the Mouth
Designed to stay rigid at body temperature but respond to heat for adjustments.
How It Works?
What is ActiveMemory™ Polymer (AMP)?
ActiveMemory™ Aligners two key parts
LuxCreo’s ActiveMemory™ polymer represents a novel class of photocurable resins designed explicitly for direct-printed aligners. Unlike intraoral SMPs that rely on intraoral temperature activation for therapeutic force delivery, ActiveMemory™ integrates a multi-component architecture that strategically decouples intraoral mechanical stability from post-removal thermal restoration
At Intraoral Temperature
Flexible segments stiffen, applying gentle, steady pressure to teeth.
When Heated (e.g., with warm water)
Flexible segments soften, allowing the aligner to snap back to its original shape.
This ensures consistent force delivery and reduces the need for mid-treatment corrections.
Why Does ActiveMemory™ Matter in Clinical Practice?
Superior Shape Retention and Force Sustainability
AMP aligners restore to their original shape upon thermal excitation and provide sustained orthodontic forces over time, making the aligner treatment more precise for less refinements.
Improved Fit and Reduced Need for Attachments
Direct 3D printing with these materials ensures a precise fit and minimizes reliance on attachments, simplifying treatment and enhancing patient comfort.
ActiveMemory™ Polymer VS Other Shape Memory Polymer
LuxCreo’s ActiveMemory™ technology redefines the role of shape memory polymers in orthodontics. By prioritizing thermomechanical stability, full geometric and force restoration, and clinician-centric design, it overcomes the limitations of legacy materials. This innovation will not only enhance treatment precision but also paves the way for a new standard in aligner therapy—one where efficiency, patient comfort, and sustainability coexist. As the field evolves, ActiveMemory™ stands as a testament to the transformative potential of material science in advancing patient care.
