Covestro and Align Technology have recently announced that hidden beauty transparent correction products made with patented SmartTrack® materials will be exhibited at K2019 in Dusseldorf, Germany as scheduled.
Align Technology's Hidden Beauty products are transparent orthodontics for orthodontics, and are the most advanced transparent orthodontic treatment system. This material was obtained from dentists and orthodontists who had been trained by Invisibility.

At Covestro's booth (Hall 6, Stand A75), visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about Align Technology's cutting-edge innovations, as well as watch interactive videos, view and touch hidden beauty samples.
At 12: 00-12: 30 pm on October 18, 2019, at the Covestro booth, Markus Sebastian, senior vice president and managing director of Align Technology EMEA, will deliver a keynote speech, followed by a discussion on the hidden beauty system.
Hidden beauty system with SmartTrack material
The patented SmartTrack material is used for the Invisible Transparency Aligner. This is a multi-layer, high-elasticity, transparent material co-developed with Covestro, specifically designed for Hidden Beauty System to achieve more predictable orthodontic treatment.
After eight years of engineering design, this multi-layer transparent material has developed and evaluated more than 260 materials. It exerts stable force and can help doctors better control the movement of teeth.
Before using orthodontic treatment with transparent orthodontics, the doctor will first evaluate the patient, and then perform a digital scan or manual impression of the patient's teeth. Then, after the digital treatment plan is approved by the doctor, the orthosis can be produced and shipped separately. The digital treatment plan and the customized digital orthodontic appliance allow the patient's tooth misalignment to be gradually corrected to obtain a more beautiful smile. The patient regularly changes the calibrator according to the doctor's instructions and removes it while eating.
Comfort and functionality
Zelko Relic, Global Chief Technology Officer and Senior R & D President of Align Technology, said: "With the help of SmartTrack materials, the hidden beauty of SmartForce® function and SmartStage® technology can correct tooth misalignment and increase the predictability of overall tooth movement by more than 75%. The high elasticity of the material makes the Invisit calibrator suitable for patients of all ages from adolescent patients with mixed primary and permanent teeth to adults. "
"The SmartTrack patented material in the Himax system is produced by Covestro. It is a calibrator that combines digital custom therapy and thermoforming film processes," said Dr. ThorstenDreier, Global Head of Specialty Films, SmartTrack supplier Covestro, Thanks to our joint materials research with Align Technology, we laid the foundation for a new smile for millions of new patients in Europe and the world.
