Angel Aligner Revolutionizes Orthodontics with Pressure Points in Europe
Angelalign Technology Inc., a global leader in the field of clear orthodontic aligners, recently announced an innovative update to its product line available in the European market. The company has introduced a new feature called "Pressure Points," which serves as an enhancement over the previously utilized torque ridges. This upgrade is not just a cosmetic change; it reflects Angel's ongoing commitment to innovation aimed at addressing the clinical challenges faced by orthodontists.
Enhancing Torque Control
The newly launched Pressure Points feature is a result of Angel's continuous research endeavors focused on improving clinical predictability and treatment effectiveness. Initially available for correcting torque in a single configuration, there are plans for future expansion to include rotation and intrusion corrections as well.
Transition from Torque Ridges
The transition from torque ridges to pressure points marks a significant advancement in tooth movement control. The high trimline options provided by Angel Aligner facilitate a clinical tool that can efficiently exert torsional forces across the entire surface of the tooth, encompassing up to 2 mm of gum tissue. Historically, hand-crafted indentations were used to deliver targeted force for correcting torque and rotation, but Angel's research has led to the development of the Pressure Points feature, which enhances predictability in force application compared to existing methods.
Key Benefits of the Pressure Points System
1.
Predictable Force Application: The simplified contour of the indentations ensures that force is applied precisely at the center or close proximity of the pressure point, leading to consistent results.
2.
Increased Tooth Contact: With 25% greater contact surface area in a configuration featuring a single pressure point, orthodontists can better manage tooth movement while utilizing scalloped trim lines.
3.
Precision and Scalability: The digitized design of the pressure points opens avenues for greater accuracy and scalability than traditional hand-crafted methods. This advancement is expected to empower orthodontists across Europe, allowing for enhanced control over patient treatment plans.
A Commitment to Clinical Innovation
The launch of the Pressure Points system is now accessible to orthodontists in Europe, with plans for global distribution on the horizon. Ongoing technical research along with clinical feedback will guide future innovations and configurations. Moreover, Angel aims to provide orthodontists greater control over their treatment plans when utilizing the pressure points feature.
"Our commitment to research and delivering innovative solutions for our customers and their patients began long ago with the introduction of our angelButton™ product. Today, we continue this journey with the launch of our upgraded pressure points solution," said Xavier Cherbavaz, the CEO and Vice President for Europe, Africa, and the Middle East at Angelalign Technology Inc.
