What are Denkalign clear aligners made of?
Denkalign offers cutting-edge, multi-layered clear aligners that are proudly manufactured entirely in Germany. We have created this article to answer the question from a dentists and patients point of view.
The technical information
Our aligners are crafted from Zendura-FLX, a premium material renowned for its exceptional features that set it apart from others in the market. Zendura-FLX boasts a unique dual-shell structure comprising three layers:
-
The outermost shell offers outstanding abrasion resistance, serving as a robust shield against the grinding or bruxing forces exerted by the teeth.
-
The inner shell is resilient and securely grips the teeth, ensuring a steady and controlled force is applied to guide them with precision.
-
Nestled between the outer and inner shells is the central elastomeric layer, providing elasticity to the entire structure.
This central layer safeguards against deformation of the aligners over time, a common issue faced by many clear aligners with prolonged use due to repeated insertion and removal. The distinctive central layer allows our aligners to exert a lower force upon initial insertion, while the elastic recovery subsequently generates greater tooth-moving forces over time. This unique characteristic results in a high-performance aligner material that translates to positive treatment outcomes and increased patient satisfaction.
The manufacturing process also means that our aligners are hala quality controlled unlike some other providers.
So what does all of this technology mean for the patient?
Our clear aligners are transparent, ensuring that only you know you're wearing them. They are also designed to be gentle and painless, allowing you to achieve straighter teeth in the shortest possible time frame with minimal discomfort.
