Evolution and Product Adaptation

In 1963, Dentaurum began the production of removable orthodontic appliances with Orthocryl and the material properties and processing have been continuously adapted to market requirements over the decades. Experimentation and feedback from users worldwide have resulted in a broad product portfolio in those six decades. In addition to a large number of colors such as pink, emerald green, or neon colors, Orthocryl also offers accessories such as disco glimmer and other inlay motifs for design purposes.

Orthocryl is available as a classic variant for the salt-and-pepper technique and as Orthocryl EQ for the doughing technique. Being a Class IIa product, it is approved as well for the fixed appliance technique, due to its biocompatibility.

Material Properties

The combination of the special particle size distribution of the powder component and the matching liquid results in optimum stability, according to Dentaurum. For its anniversary year, Dentaurum collated numerous tips and tricks from professionals for the practical use of Orthocryl in a digital guide. In addition to application recommendations, this guide also offers insight into the production of the material. Furthermore, numerous application videos are available on the Dentaurum YouTube channel.

The material is ready-to-use straight from the cartridge and therefore very easy to apply, according to Dentaurum. Orthocryl LC is also designed to be environmentally friendly and is a biocompatible alternative for allergy sufferers.
