Description
TERA HARZ TC-85 is World’s 1st Direct Aligner Printing Material
The world’s first direct 3D printed clear aligner material featuring patented shape memory technology. TC-85DAC delivers constant orthodontic forces similar to thermal NiTi wire, allowing effective tooth movement with less deformation over time. The material offers uniform and customizable thickness for enhanced fit and patient comfort. Unlike thermoformed aligners, it enables better tracking, less pain, easier insertion and removal, and improved clinical treatment outcomes. This aligner material is highly transparent, nearly invisible when worn.

Shape Memory Function: TC-85DAC is equipped with a shape memory function, allowing the aligners to return to their original form after deformation, ensuring consistent fit and orthodontic force.
Minimized Block Out: The aligners minimize block out, reducing discomfort during wearing and removing, enhancing overall patient comfort.
Enhanced Orthodontic Force: The shape memory function enhances orthodontic force, maximizing treatment efficacy without compromising patient comfort.
Orthodontic Force Recovery: Patients can easily restore the aligners’ orthodontic force and elasticity by soaking them in warm water, maintaining treatment effectiveness over time.
Heat Disinfection: TC-85DAC allows for heat disinfection under 100℃, ensuring a clean state and preserving the aligners’ shape and mechanical properties, even after extended use.
Convenience of Storage: With its shape memory function and heat disinfection capability, TC-85DAC eliminates the need for an extra storage case, simplifying the patient’s treatment routine.
Perfect Transparency: Graphy’s commitment to 100% transparency ensures discreet and comfortable wear, with the aligners being strong against discoloration and easily recoverable to their transparent state.
Direction to Use
- Designing the Aligner: Utilize 3D software to design the aligner, allowing customization of its shape, strength, and elasticity to suit the patient’s needs.
- Printing Process: Print the aligner directly using a compatible 3D printer.
- Post-Processing: After printing, ensure proper post-processing by using Graphy’s curing box, Tera Harz Cure, to optimize the material’s performance.
- Orthodontic Force Adjustment: The aligner features a shape memory function that minimizes inconvenience during wearing and removal. In case of decreased orthodontic force, immerse the aligner in warm water to restore its original force.
- Disinfection: The aligner can be disinfected using heat under 100℃, ensuring cleanliness and restoration of its shape and mechanical properties.
- Storage: Due to the shape memory function and heat disinfection availability, there is no need for a separate storage case. After disinfection in warm water, the aligner can be inserted directly into the mouth.
- Transparency Maintenance: The aligner is designed for 100% transparency. To maintain transparency, brush the aligner with toothpaste to resist discoloration and regain its original transparency.
