DIGITAL DENTISTRY LEARNING HUB

For years, bringing clear aligner production in-house has followed essentially the same process.

Here at Voxel, we've watched, evaluated, and tested for ourselves the very best in dental tech. Sometimes, major innovations come with lofty promises to doctors - and it's important doctors are aware of the potential upsides but aware of any changes in workflows.

That's why we are so meticulous in our evaluations, so we know when we decide to partner with a manufacturer and sell their products - we can be confident our customers are getting the very best.

Enter LuxCreo, an innovative 3D printing manufacturer that is making waves in this "direct print" world - empowering dentists to create custom clear aligners in-house at an affordable cost. In fact, they lay the claim to be the first FDA cleared 510 (K) class II direct print aligner workflow.

Here at Voxel, we’re highly selective over the brands we choose to work with, seeking distributor relationships with manufacturers who share our obsession with quality and service so we can provide our customers with the very best clinical experience. 

We’ve been working with intraoral scanners for years and we've been impressed by the Alliedstar. We rate is as today's top choice for a great mixture of speed, quality and value as an affordable, easy-entry scanning option for nearly any dental or specialty practice - especially those just getting started with 3D impressions.

Will 2025 be the year for investing in a new printer? Whether you're looking to get started, or need to increase production, today's leaders in 3D printing have so much to offer - with reliability, speed and affordability. And, some are even pushing the boundaries of what a 3D printer is capable of doing in dentistry.

Intraoral scanners (IOS) have become an integral part of modern dentistry, streamlining workflows, improving treatment accuracy, and enhancing the patient experience. As technology continues to evolve, the competition among intraoral scanner brands intensifies, bringing innovative features and better performance to the forefront.

Traditional orthodontic wire bending relies heavily on the clinician’s manual dexterity and expertise. Using tools like pliers, orthodontists shape archwires and appliances to guide teeth into proper alignment.

Many orthodontic & GP practices are turning to in-office 3D printing to streamline workflows and reduce turnaround times on their patient's appliances. But, the next wave of the future happening right now: direct-print aligners (also known as same-day aligners). 

Three words have been all the rage in ortho lately: "Direct Print Aligners". But, is the future here today?

So... you're considering an investment in a 3D printer for your dental practice? Or, you're replacing or adding a printer and want to make sure you're getting the best value in today's market. 

You're in luck! You're in the right place. 3D printing in dentistry has exploded in popularity with a wide variety of proven clinical purposes.. giving you more control over the process for things like implants, orthodontic appliances, surgical guides and more. 

Today, the question rarely is ARE you using a 3D printer.. but more so WHICH 3D printer are you using?

When the Voxel team got back from the AAO 2024 in New Orleans, it was abundantly clear - direct print aligners are all the rage. The technology capable of completing a clear aligner case with a same-day turnaround - without sacrificing quality - is now a reality thanks to manufacturing excellence with brands like LuxCreo.
