How 3D Printing of Occlusal Nightguards Works
Step 1: Scan
Collect patient anatomy digitally using an intraoral scanner, or scan a physical model or impression using a desktop scanner.
Step 2: Design
Import the scan data into CAD software and design the treatment.
Step 3: 3D Print
Import the designed CAD file into PreForm print preparation software for print setup and send it easily to a Formlabs printer.
Step 4: Prepare
Wash, dry, and post-cure the printed parts using Form Wash and Form Cure.
Step 5: Polish and Finish
Remove support structures, lightly grind the splint to smooth any remaining imperfections, and polish it to shine.
Step 6: Complete
The finished splint is ready for delivery to the dentist for fitment chairside.
