“Shape memory” is one of the concepts that draws the most interest when discussing Graphy aligners. It does not mean an appliance decides how to move your teeth: treatment always begins with professional planning.
A property of the material
Graphy describes a material designed to recover its programmed shape within a direct 3D printing workflow. The manufacturer associates this property with the delivery of light, continuous forces.
Technology needs a plan
At Dentoline, we use that innovation in the context of your individual case. Before treatment begins, we need to understand your goals and assess your smile. We then explain the stages and how progress will be monitored.
The conversation should go beyond the material’s name. It also matters to understand who plans your treatment, how appointments work and whom to contact with questions.
Useful questions for your consultation
- What does this technology contribute to my plan?
- How should I wear and care for my aligners?
- How is the decision made to move to the next stage?
- Whom should I contact if I notice a fit problem?
Always follow your specific instructions. Do not try heat or activation techniques on your own based on social media videos.
