You asked for comfortable, durable, multi-layer aligners that feature sustained force, great clarity, and excellent tooth adaptation.* Our answer: ClearQuartz™. 

What you need to know about ClearQuartz™

There are a lot of great things about ClearQuartz™, but here are some of the main features to be aware of:

• The toughness of the outer shells help reduce wear
• The low porosity minimizes staining
• The inner layer provides better elasticity and reduces stiffness
• ClearQuartz™ is designed for more predictable force application due to the enhanced elasticity 
• The shells grip the teeth firmly
• The inner layer is engineered to provide consistent and continual force

How does it work?

3-dimensional engineered properties: forces applied in any direction receive the rebound response

The elastic layer improves translation
The elastic layer improves rotation

What does the 3-layer structure do?

The benefits of the 3-layer structure are:

• The elastic middle-layer enhances tooth-moving force and comfort because it's able to recover its form
• It is more durable because the elastic layer absorbs excess forces and reduces crack or tear propagation
• This elasticity provides more comfort to the patient

Multi-layer vs. Single-layer Material

Combining the properties of both flexible and rigid resins in a multi-layered film allows for greater tear resistance, lower initial force, more consistent and longer sustained force and a more precise fit compared to the properties of other resins used in other aligners (e.g., polyethylene terephthalate).
