DIGITAL DENTISTRY LEARNING HUB

A Testimonial from Dr. David Carter, Carter Orthodontics & Forever Aligned Club

In the ever-evolving world of orthodontics, few technologies have made as dramatic an impact on clinical practice and lab efficiency as direct-print aligners. For Dr. David Carter, founder of Carter Orthodontics in Augusta, SC and visionary behind the Forever Aligned Club, LuxCreo’s direct-printing system—implemented with the help of Voxel Dental—has become a complete game changer. Here's how.

3D printing in dentistry is now central to many workflows — from models, surgical guides, and dentures, to temporary and permanent crowns, aligners, and more. But it wasn’t always this way. The evolution of 3D printing in dentistry reflects advances in materials, software, regulatory approvals, speed, and accessibility.

Orthodontics has evolved dramatically over the last two centuries. Innovations in appliances, classification systems, materials, and digital technology are built on the work of many individuals. Here are several orthodontists whose contributions have had lasting influence on the field.

As demand for clear aligners continues to soar, orthodontic practices and labs are constantly seeking smarter, faster, and more cost-effective solutions to scale their operations. Enter the Trimlign2 by Ortho-Automation—a next-generation robotic aligner trimming system engineered to maximize throughput, reduce labor costs, and streamline your workflow.

At Voxel Dental, we are at the forefront of revolutionizing dental technology, and one of the most transformative tools in modern dentistry is 3D printing.

Here at Voxel, we are constantly evaluating the latest tech dentistry has to offer! It's the cornerstone of our business, keeping our customers in the know about the brands and models that are truly pushing innovation in the industry.

As digital orthodontics continues to evolve, the demand for precision, efficiency, and automation in aligner production has never been higher. One of the most critical steps in the clear aligner manufacturing process is trimming—a step that ensures aligners have smooth, comfortable edges that fit precisely to a patient's dental anatomy. The Trimlign2 is a revolutionary aligner trimming system that is redefining how orthodontic labs and practices streamline their clear aligner finishing process.

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.

Good question!

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.
