ZENDURA THERMOFORMING RETAINER MATERIAL

Zendura A - Clear retainer material

Considered by the orthodontic industry as the well-established gold standard as a post-treatment retainer material for its exceptional crack resistance and stress retention properties, Zendura A is also still widely used as an aligner and a “finishing” aligner material. It is particularly helpful whenever a more rigid material is required.

Developed by a team of world class material scientists to meet the ever-changing needs of the orthodontic industry, Zendura is manufactured using proprietary processes to achieve the optimum balance of all the properties essential to providing a superior retainer and aligner material, including exceptional stress retention, crack resistance, clarity, and stain resistance.

Zendura A’s Key Properties: How Zendura A stands out

1. Special Polymer Formulation

Zendura A is a monolayer material made from a proprietary medical grade polyurethane (TPU) resin, rather than the commodity polyester (PETG) or acrylic resins typically used by other orthodontic material suppliers.

2. Fast, Easy Fabrication

In-office fabrication of Zendura A orthodontic appliances using pressure or vacuum thermoformers is fast and reliable. You can produce a top-tier appliance in minutes and know every single time the appliance will have uniform thickness and quality and fit like a glove.

3. Stress Retention

Stress retention is the propensity of the material to resist deformation throughout each treatment phase. Rigid polyurethanes combine high strength and ductility with low stress relaxation and practical toughness and durability.

4. Ultra Clear

Zendura A material boasts excellent clarity and color stability that creates the impression of “crystal clarity” in the oral cavity.

5. Crack Resistance

Zendura A’s special polymer backbone delivers significantly superior crack resistance … up to 2X more than competing materials.

6. Safe Material

Zendura is BPA, phthalate and gluten free, and is one of the safest commercially available materials.
