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.

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.

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). 

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?
