  • GENERATING ALIGNERS WITH VARIANT MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
    Publication number: 20240180671
    Abstract: A method may include generating a 2D blank that can form a 3D dental aligner via thermoforming. The 2D blank may include a first material that includes a first discontinuity. The 2D blank may include a second material integrally formed within the first discontinuity. The first material may have a higher stiffness than the second material. The method may include thermoforming the 2D blank to form the 3D dental aligner having variable stiffness.
