Don’t Just Plan. Produce.
Designing the tooth movement is only half the battle. To scale your clear aligner production, you need files that are ready for manufacturing. A standard design service gives you a model; our Clear Aligner Design and Finish service gives you a production ecosystem.
At China Dental Designer, we bridge the gap between CAD and CAM. We not only plan the orthodontics but also define the Trimlines digitally. Whether you are using a manual wheel or a 5-axis Laser Cutter, our files ensure smooth, comfortable edges for the patient.
Technical Engineering Specifications
We prepare your files for the specific thermoforming and cutting workflow you use:
Trimline Definition (The “Finish”)
- Scalloped Cut: Following the gingival margin (0mm-1mm offset) for maximum aesthetics and comfort.
- Straight Cut: (High trim) 2mm above the gingiva for increased retention, often used with fewer attachments.
- Machine Compatibility: We can export cutting paths (XML/PTS) compatible with automated cutters like Hamer, laser cutters, or CNC mills.
Orthodontic Specs
- Staging: Standard 0.25mm movement per aligner.
- Block-out: Automatic block-out of undercuts to prevent aligners from getting stuck (Retention control).
- Labeling: Laser-etched ID tags on the molar surface for easy sorting.
Why Choose the “Design AND Finish” Package?
If you are scaling up, manual trimming is a bottleneck. By using our Clear Aligner Design and Finish service, you get the cutting lines pre-calculated. This reduces bench time by 50% and ensures every aligner has a consistent, smooth edge that doesn’t irritate the patient’s gums.
Seamless Manufacturing Workflow
- Upload: Patient Scans + Photos.
- Specify: Trim Style (Scalloped/Straight) and Manufacturing Machine brand.
- Approve: Review the Tx Plan Video.
- Manufacture: Download STLs for printing and XMLs for cutting.
