ORTHOFX™ FEATURES A FULL LINE OF CLEAR ALIGNER SYSTEMS USING THE NEWEST GENERATION OF PROPRIETARY POLYMERS

- New OrthoFX Website Showcases Latest Aligner Innovations -

FREMONT, Calif., March 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- OrthoFX™, a leading innovator in the clear aligner space, announces the launch of its new website showcasing a full portfolio of products with AirFlex™, previously branded as NiTime™, as its newest polymer innovation. With the new generation of aligner offerings, OrthoFX aims to help orthodontists differentiate their practice and elevate patient satisfaction with a broad selection of aligner systems that are designed for enhanced predictability, while also giving their patients treatment options that fit their lifestyle.

"There have not been advancements in polymer technology for decades within the clear aligner category, so we are consistently challenging ourselves to push the boundaries of orthodontic innovations that support doctors and patient needs," said OrthoFX Co-founder, Ren Menon. "Although clear aligner treatments have been around for over two decades, there is ample evidence that shows predictability and patient compliance continue to be a problem for providers. We have worked closely with orthodontists to address these issues while also delivering solutions that better meet the needs of patients' habits and practices. Our new generation of clear aligners are delivering beautiful treatment outcomes and making it more effortless for patients to straighten their teeth."

OrthoFX's latest generation of aligners are showcased on its new website:

• FXClear™, previously branded as Tetra™: FXClear are custom-made aligners delivering predictable results. Its stain-resistant material and smooth, scalloped edges allow for enhanced comfort and fit. Its advanced polymer technology exerts gentle, optimal pressure and requires 20-22 hours of wear time per day, similar to the wear time requirements of leading aligner brands.
  
  
• FXBright™: A brighter alternative! FXBright is a translucent aligner that gives teeth a naturally whiter and straighter appearance, without the use of whitening gels, from day one of treatment. FXBright also requires 20-22 hours of wear time per day.
  
  
• AirFlex™, previously branded as NiTime™: AirFlex is the first and only FDA-cleared aligner demonstrated to straighten teeth with at least 9-12 hours of continuous daily wear time*. This is 50% less wear time versus the leading clear aligner brands.

AirFlex is designed to provide enhanced comfort, compliance, and groundbreaking predictability. Featuring HyperElastic™ technology, AirFlex utilizes a proprietary multi-copolymer that sets it apart from leading aligner brands that rely on off-the-shelf materials. This advancement in material engineering improves aligner performance and delivers efficient orthodontic movements because the multi-copolymer, leveraging secondary transition, conforms precisely to the outer surface of the dentition. This exact fit ensures optimal adaptation, which prevents the aligner from unseating. HyperElastic technology accommodates up to four weeks of tooth movement, conservatively reducing the risk of relapse from non-wear and minimizing the need for refinements.

"My number one priority is to provide the most efficient, predictable, and comfortable orthodontic treatment for my patients, regardless of the complexity of their cases. From my experience, patients are not wearing their aligners as required for 20 to 22 hours a day," said Dr. Neil Warshawsky, Orthodontist, Professor, and OrthoFX provider. "This is why AirFlex with 50% less wear time is a gamechanger to get the patient compliance and treatment outcomes as planned."
