OrthoFX Unveils a New Era in Clear Aligners
OrthoFX™, known for its pioneering role in the clear aligner industry, has recently launched a revamped website that highlights its full range of innovative products. This new online platform emphasizes the latest advancements in aligner technology, particularly featuring the AirFlex™ polymer, which was previously branded as NiTime™. Through this website, orthodontists and patients alike can explore a selection of aligners that promise enhanced predictability and treatment options tailored to suit varied lifestyles.
The Need for Innovation in Clear Aligners
For the last few decades, the clear aligner market has seen minimal evolution in polymer technology. OrthoFX Co-founder, Ren Menon, stated, "We continuously challenge ourselves to push the boundaries of orthodontic innovations, supporting both doctors and patients' needs." This dedication has led to the development of a new generation of aligners that not only promise beautiful outcomes but also aim to improve patient compliance, a significant challenge in the field.
According to Menon, while clear aligner treatments have been available for over twenty years, issues surrounding predictability and adherence remain problematic for many providers. Thus, OrthoFX's new line of products is designed to overcome these obstacles, allowing orthodontists to offer treatment strategies that align closely with their patients' lifestyles.
Product Line-Up
The newly launched aligners, prominently featured on the OrthoFX website, include three primary offerings: AirFlex™, FXBright™, and FXClear™.
1.
FXClear™ - Designed with a stain-resistant material and smooth, scalloped edges, these custom aligners provide predictable results while ensuring comfort and fit. Patients are required to wear these aligners for 20-22 hours a day, aligning with industry standards.
2.
FXBright™ - This translucent aligner is distinctive in that it offers a naturally whiter appearance without the need for whitening gels, starting from the first day of treatment. Like the FXClear™, FXBright also demands similar wear time.
3.
AirFlex™ - The highlight of the new product line, AirFlex is the first FDA-cleared aligner that effectively works with only 9-12 hours of continuous wear each day, which is 50% less than standard clear aligner products. With its unique HyperElastic™ technology, the AirFlex is constructed from a proprietary multi-copolymer, enabling it to adapt precisely to the tooth surface for optimal fit and function.
Dr. Neil Warshawsky, an orthodontist and OrthoFX provider, expressed enthusiasm about AirFlex, declaring, "This is a game-changer for compliance and treatment outcomes, especially since many patients struggle with the required daily wear times."
A Commitment to Patient Satisfaction
The commitment of OrthoFX to enhancing patient satisfaction through innovation is evident. Their goal is to provide efficient, compliant, and comfortable orthodontic treatment options that cater to varying complexities of cases. Both the FXBright and FXClear aligners utilize advanced materials that make them easy to integrate into a patient's everyday life, thus increasing the likelihood of adherence to treatment plans.
The launch of the new website is not just a means for showcasing their products; it serves as an educational platform for both consumers and professionals, providing insights into how these innovative aligners fit into modern orthodontic practices.
