A dental thermoforming machine is used to create custom dental appliances like clear aligners, retainers, and mouthguards. It works by heating a plastic sheet and then forming it over a dental model using vacuum or pressure. This process shapes the sheet to match the patient’s teeth precisely. It’s commonly used in dental labs and clinics for fast, in-house appliance production.

A dental thermoforming machine is used to create custom-fit dental appliances by heating and shaping plastic sheets over tooth models. It is commonly used for making clear aligners, retainers, nightguards, mouthguards, whitening trays, and surgical guides. This helps clinics and labs produce appliances quickly, accurately, and in-house.

There are mainly four types of dental thermoforming machines: manual, automatic, pressure-forming, and vacuum-forming.
Manual machines require hands-on operation, while automatic ones offer programmable precision.
Pressure-forming machines use air pressure for high-detail appliances like clear aligners.
Vacuum-forming machines use suction and are ideal for making retainers, mouthguards, and trays.
