An Exclusive Webinar with Dr. Kelvin Chang
The future of clear aligners is here — and it’s direct-printed. In this exclusive session, Dr. Chang breaks down the three major trends redefining orthodontic care: Hybrid Treatment, In-House Manufacturing and Direct-Printing
The Problem: Fragmented Workflows and Materials Slow Aligner Care
Direct aligner therapy sits at a crossroads. Three major trends — Hybrid Treatment, In-house Manufacturing, and Direct Printing — are reshaping how clinicians plan and deliver clear-aligner care. Yet many practices and labs still rely on multi-step workflows, outsourced fabrication, or materials and designs that limit clinical outcomes, efficiency, and real-time customization.
The result? Longer treatment times, unpredictable force delivery, higher costs, and lost clinical flexibility. Current aligner manufacturing often forces clinicians to compromise between convenience and efficacy: simple thermoformed aligners are easy to make but lack advanced biomechanical control; outsourced workflows provide quality but reduce speed and control; and many “next-gen” approaches stop short at process changes without re-thinking the material and design paradigms.
The Solution: Direct Printing + 4D resins = Faster, Predictable
Direct printing isn't just another manufacturing shortcut — it's a paradigm shift. When paired with new smart materials and design methods, direct 3D printing can deliver aligners that are more predictable, more customizable, and easier to integrate into a modern, in-clinic workflow. For clinicians who want better patient outcomes, faster turnarounds, and lower per-case cost, understanding the technical and clinical implications of direct printing is urgent.
What You Will Learn in This Webinar:
Join Dr. Kelvin Chang, respected orthodontist and Chair of the Education Committee for the Taiwan Association of Orthodontists, as he explores how Direct-Print Aligners are reshaping clinical workflows and treatment outcomes worldwide.
Key Takeaways:
- Direct-Print Aligner Design & Workflow – How to build an in-house process that’s faster, simpler, and more profitable than thermoforming.
- 4D Smart Materials – Discover how LuxCreo’s resin-based photopolymers respond dynamically to treatment, improving force control and tooth movement accuracy.
- Creative Design Solutions – Learn how to leverage ActiveMemory™ to solve common treatment challenges with speed and precision.
