Consequently, users are now able to digitally place the Damon brackets based on a vir- tual model produced by 3Shape’s TRIOS intra-oral scanner or con- ventional laboratory impressions. “We are very excited to pro- vide orthodontists and labs with access to the Damon System bracket libraries. The integration gives professionals the advantage of a fully digital workflow to re- duce chair time and increase treatment efficiency and patient comfort,” said Allan Junge Hyldal, Vice President of Orthodontics at 3Shape. Owing to the simpler proce- dure, indirect bonding has proven to have multiple benefits for the patients compared with direct bonding, including reduced treat- ment and chair time, as well as less physical and mental stress. The newly integrated Damon System bracket library joins more than 150 original bracket libraries and orthodontic solution provid- ers. “Ormco is pleased that doctors now have access to our advanced passive self-ligating metal and aesthetic brackets, including the improved Damon Clear2 bracket,” commented Ormco President Patrik Eriksson on the collabo- ration. “With the increased demand for aesthetic and effective treat- ment solutions, Damon Clear2 enables 3Shape customers to ef- ficiently treat all of their patients —including complex cases and mixed dentition—to an excep- tional result,” Eriksson said. AD Ormco’s Insignia Advanced Smile Design already accepts TRIOS scans for treatment. With the integration of Ormco’s Damon System bracket library, the companies are expanding their collaboration. © YURALAITS ALBERT/Shutterstock.com
