What Is LUCID Clear Aligner?
LUCID Clear Aligner is a series of 3D printed transparent dental aligners designed to progressively shift teeth into the correct position. Each aligner in the series is fabricated from digital data derived from the patient's dental impressions or 3D oral scan, and is produced to match their exact dental geometry at each stage of treatment.
The result is a dental correction solution that:
- Fits precisely — because each aligner is manufactured to the patient's individual anatomy, not to a generic mould
- Is virtually invisible — clear resin materials make the aligners discrete and cosmetically acceptable
- Is patient-specific — the treatment sequence is designed around the individual patient's tooth movement requirements
Digital Dentistry and Additive Manufacturing
The LUCID Clear Aligner exemplifies what becomes possible when digital dentistry workflows are combined with additive manufacturing. The journey from a patient's oral scan to a finished, fit-for-purpose aligner can be completed far more quickly and with greater precision than traditional dental lab processes.
3D printing also enables cost-effective production of each aligner in the treatment series — making customised clear aligner therapy more accessible as a dental treatment option.
3D Gens' Digital Dentistry Capability
The LUCID Clear Aligner is one expression of 3D Gens' broader commitment to digital dentistry solutions — a field that is rapidly transforming the dental industry through digital workflows, precision manufacturing, and patient-specific devices.
