DIGITAL DENTISTRY LEARNING HUB

The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) Annual Session is the must-attend event for orthodontic professionals, showcasing the latest innovations and technologies set to transform the industry. The AAO 2025 is set to take place at the Philadelphia Convention Center, hosted Friday April 25-Sunday April 27, 2025.

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). 

As we head into 2025, the field of dentistry is poised for remarkable innovations that will reshape patient care, enhance clinical precision, and improve workflow efficiencies. From advanced imaging to AI-powered diagnostics, new dental technologies are streamlining processes, creating new treatment possibilities, and driving patient satisfaction.

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

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.

The following is a recap of the August 2024 webinar"Direct-Printed Appliances - The Future is Here". Featuring speaker Dr. Neil Warshawsky, a Chicago-based Orthodontist and practice owner of Get It Straight Orthodontics who uses the LuxCreo ecosystem for same-day direct-print aligners in his practice.

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.
