How stable are SLA-printed orthodontic models: a 6-month in vitro evaluation
Orthodontic models produced by SLA 3D printing maintain high dimensional accuracy in the short term, supporting their immediate use in clinical settings for aligner fabrication. However, delayed use or prolonged storage can lead to measurable distortions that may compromise appliance fit and treatment efficacy.
