New Aligner Material Revolutionizes Orthodontics

Angelalign Technology Inc. has introduced SuperElastic (MC-SE*), a proprietary clear aligner material representing a significant advancement in orthodontic treatment capabilities. Developed through seven years of dedicated research and testing, MC-SE* is engineered to meet orthodontists' demands for materials that handle complex cases with biologically safe force levels, a wide elastic working range, and exceptional strength.

The new material distinguishes itself through its ability to deliver gentle, consistent force throughout the wear cycle, coupled with an expanded elastic range that allows it to bend further and return to its original shape. Unlike PETG and Angel's current material, MC-SE* exhibits superior elastic recovery, a characteristic enhanced by an integrated medical-grade polyamide layer providing structural strength and toughness.

This innovation draws inspiration from the low, continuous force of nickel-titanium archwires, a standard in traditional orthodontics. MC-SE* brings these desirable properties to clear aligners, opening new clinical possibilities. Angelalign plans to develop MC-SE* into a versatile material platform, offering various formulations to achieve diverse force effects and support orthodontists in achieving extraordinary patient outcomes globally, following necessary registrations.
