The Missing Link:
Unlocking ActiveMemory™ Polymer for Customized Appliances
W I T H
Prof. Jean-Marc Retrouvey
Clinically Grounded Exploration
Join us for an exclusive clinical webinar: The Missing Link: Unlocking ActiveMemory™ Polymer for Customized Appliances.
Traditional thermoformed aligners often struggle with rapid force decay and manufacturing distortion.
In this session, Dr. Jean-Marc Retrouvey will explore how direct-print ActiveMemory™ Polymer (AMP) is solving these fundamental challenges by making the material itself the mechanism for predictable tooth movement.
What We Will Cover
The Biomechanics of ActiveMemory™ Polymer:
Discover how daily heat treatment rejuvenates the polymer with every single wear.
Viscoelasticity and Expanded Special Designs:
Learn how AMP acts as a viscoelastic shock absorber that delivers light, continuous forces rather than rapid elastic decay. We will explore how variable thickness can be digitally prescribed to create complex, customized appliances from a single material.
Clinical Case Proofs:
See the science applied in the chair. We will review real-world clinical outcomes demonstrating the efficacy of direct-print appliances.
Seamless Design via LuxCloud Dental Workflow:
Demystify the transition to direct-print orthodontics. Learn how to leverage the LuxCloud Dental platform for a hassle-free design service that simplifies your digital workflow and gives you instant access to these advanced, direct-printed special designs.
