==ORTHODONTIC ARTICLES PREPARED USING A POLYCARBONATE DIOL, POLYMERIZABLE COMPOSITIONS, AND METHODS OF MAKING THE ARTICLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240270893 titled 'ORTHODONTIC ARTICLES PREPARED USING A POLYCARBONATE DIOL, POLYMERIZABLE COMPOSITIONS, AND METHODS OF MAKING THE ARTICLES

The present disclosure introduces an orthodontic article created from a polymerizable composition and outlines methods for manufacturing such articles using additive manufacturing processes.

* The innovation involves the reaction product of a polymerizable composition to form orthodontic articles.
* Methods include selectively curing the polymerizable composition to create the orthodontic article.
* Manufacturing devices with processors can receive digital objects specifying orthodontic articles and generate them using additive manufacturing.
* A system is provided with a display showing a 3D model of an orthodontic article and processors that instruct a 3D printer to create a physical object based on the model.
