Insignia Clearguide Express Aligners
Ormco Corp, Orange, Calif, now offers Insignia™ Clearguide Express aligners. Designed for patients requiring minor anterior tooth movement, the clear aligners are custom-designed using the company’s 3D Insignia software.
According to the company, Insignia Clearguide Express aligner sets are designed throughout the course of treatment instead of up front as with traditional aligner systems. The aligners use Heat N Bite technology as a self-checking mechanism to evaluate progress at selected treatment intervals and prevent the need for new impressions. Subsequent sets of aligners are custom-made to achieve remaining treatment goals. Each Insignia Clearguide Express tray can achieve up to 2.5 mm of movement per tooth over a succession of up to 10 aligner sets.
