ST. PAUL, Minn., July 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- 3M Oral Care has introduced Clarity Aligners Flex
+ Force: a new aligner system that empowers orthodontists to choose
from two unique aligner materials in one treatment design and gives
patients a customized treatment experience.
This next-generation aligner system elevates 3M's powerful
portfolio of advanced digital solutions by offering Advanced Tx
Design through the 3M Oral Care
Portal, which provides treatment from simple to complex cases.
3M Clarity Aligners are also
indicated for the alignment of teeth during orthodontic treatment
of malocclusion and can be used to address patients with mixed
dentition.
Inspired by orthodontists, the new Clarity Aligners Flex
material complements the existing Clarity Aligners Force material
by incorporating desirable aligner characteristics that enable
orthodontists to tailor treatment. Clarity Aligners Flex also
delivers for patients, providing an aligner material that fits well
and isn't noticeable when wearing.
"At 3M, we see Clarity Aligners
Flex + Force as a delivery on our ongoing promise to provide
innovative solutions to our customers," says Steve Vander Louw, president of 3M Oral Care. "3M
is a science company and we're thrilled to be putting our science
to work for customers."
3M™ Clarity Aligners Flex: innovation through 3M expertise and technology
Clarity Aligners Flex is made of a proprietary five-layer blend of
materials, each chosen for their properties to deliver a
synergistic effect greater than any single 3M material can achieve. 3M scientists developed Clarity Aligners Flex to
provide:
- Excellent force persistence
- Stain and scratch resistance
- Easy insertion and removal
- Good engagement with attachments
- Outer layers resist staining and scratching
- Inner layers provide flexibility and resilience
- Overall structure provides durability while reducing
thickness
Unlocking the power of a seamless integrated workflow
Clarity Aligners Flex + Force fits seamlessly into 3M's Oral Care
Portal, giving orthodontists one integrated workflow for
two-material Tx Designs. The Oral Care Portal, a cloud-based
software solution for Advanced Tx Design, provides convenient
access to one platform to plan and refine aligner, digital bonding
or combination treatment.
"Advanced Tx Design in the Oral Care Portal allows orthodontists
to plan aligner, bracket or combination treatment via a single
digital experience," says Thomas
Worm, global portfolio leader for 3M Oral Care. "Our goal in creating this
integrated digital experience was to make it easier than ever to
customize treatment and to support orthodontists in providing
lifelong oral health for patients."
