Abstract: Methods of printing dental aligners with three-dimensional (3D) printing equipment and software include providing a thermoplastic material in powder form and forming the dental aligner from the powder form of the thermoplastic material, the thermoplastic material having enhanced materials properties. The thermoplastic material can be polysulfone and the resulting dental aligner can be substantially transparent and optionally tinted with a coloring agent.

Abstract: The instant invention provides dental aligner(s) that can be better tuned to deliver a specific and more stable (lower creep) force on the teeth while also being softer and thinner. The instant dental aligners also provide the medical practitioner greater control to customize the treatment based on a patient's therapeutic stage, discreet requirements, and pain tolerance.
