Clear retainers are becoming the retainer of choice for mixed dentition for us. Adding eruption bubbles and attachments are simple and easy in the uLab platform. #EarlyBraces #DigitalOrthodontics #ClearRetainer

Little fun with LCD printers. This is a model printed on Epax using their dental resin. #3Dprinting #DigitalOrthodontics

Accuracy of 3D printed models can be measured by a few different methods. Heatmap surface analysis of scanned teeth and 3D printed model is a relatively correct approach to measure accuracy of a 3D object. #3DPrinring #DigitalOrthodontics

how this course changed my peers daily pratice

I had the opportunity to meet Dr. Khosravi in Seattle at a seminar he presented on 3D printing and clear aligner staging and manufacturing. Dr. Khosravi has expertise in computing technologies and programming, as an orthodontist, and has a PhD in extracellular matrix biology. His experience in these areas uniquely qualifies him to represent uLab’s clear aligner software platform.

Dr. Khosravi’s presentation for uLab discussed all aspects currently available in the uLab program. Importing STL files, preparing them for 3D printing, segmenting teeth, staging, and the nuisances of staging before aligner production were all discussed in detail. Dr. Khosravi also has experience and knowledge of similar programs to uLab, 3D printers and thermoforming materials. He was able to directly answer any questions comparing the pros and cons of all these different platforms. This was valuable information for me as an orthodontist starting in-house production.

If you are interested in learning about digital printing and aligner design I would strongly recommend this course.

If you're thinking about implementing in-house clear aligners in your practice, Dr. K's course will give you the right tools to succeed. As researcher and professor at U of W, he is on the cutting edge of technology and truly motivated to educate on clear aligners. His aligner course covers software appliance design, to 3D printing and fabrication so to impart you with the resources and knowledge to implement in your clinic immediately. He has exceeded my expectation, giving me the confidence to build my own in-house aligner system. I this has been a game-changer in my clinic. Alex Vo DMD, MSD

Dr. Khosravi’s presentation of Ulab’s software and its capabilities exceed all of my expectations. His presentation was concise yet provided a unique in depth look at the softwares functions and capabilities. Ulab’s mission to combine the entire in-house aligner fabrication workflow onto one single user-friendly platform has the potential to transform and streamline orthodontic practice as we know it and Dr. Khosravi’s understanding of the software’s engineering design as well as its clinical applications made this presentation enlightening. It is this dual expertise that is so crucial to creating software tools for and by orthodontists to enhance the patient experience.
