3D printing is increasingly becoming an indispensable tool in the dental industry, for the design of prostheses, for planning interventions, or simply for educational purposes.

Using the models obtained, the technicians proceed to thermoforming to obtain bruxism bites, bleaching masks etc.
In this video an example of the manufacturing process.
