Our lab team
Manufacturing, South Africa
Every set of Active Aligners is manufactured in South Africa, at the Active Aligners lab. Each aligner is formed from a medical-grade, tri-layer material using 4.0 bar positive-pressure thermoforming, over 3D printed models from printers calibrated to the lab's own conditions. Before a set leaves the lab, it is checked for margins, borders, thickness, numbering and arch form, so it arrives ready to fit.
