Custom Orthodontic Bands SLM

Custom Orthodontic Bands SLM

Custom orthodontic bands manufactured using SLM (Selective Laser Melting) technology represent a precise alternative to conventionally formed and soldered bands. Metal laser sintering enables a homogeneous material structure and accurate adaptation of the band to the tooth surface.

Digital design of SLM orthodontic bands

The design process is based on intraoral scans provided by the treating orthodontist. Digital CAD workflow allows individual adjustment of band geometry to the crown anatomy, taking into account retention areas, marginal contours and the planned positioning of auxiliary components.

SLM metal sintering technology

The bands are produced using selective laser melting (SLM), a process involving layer-by-layer fusion of metal powder using a laser source. This technology ensures high dimensional accuracy, mechanical stability and repeatability, without the need for traditional soldered joints.

Clinical application

Custom orthodontic bands SLM are used in appliances requiring stable anchorage, including expansion devices, skeletal appliances and hybrid orthodontic constructions. The precision of the manufacturing process facilitates clinical fitting and reduces the need for chairside adjustments.
