3D printing is an exciting technology that has many applications in many fields, including healthcare. In 2009, LOA doctors were among the first orthodontists worldwide to begin applying 3D printing to aligner therapy. Fast-forwarding to today, LOA Orthodontics has its own 3D print lab utilizing FormLab printers, an MIT spin-off company out of Somerville, MA.
LOA has team members dedicated to expanding the application of printing to orthodontics to make treatment more comfortable, faster and with better outcomes. There is no question that 3D printing will continue to have applications in orthodontics and that LOA will continue to lead the field in offering those options to our valued patients.
