Laser Technology for Dental Applications

Aorta applies laser techniques to many of its appliances. We implement laser welding techniques to produce a higher quality finish. Traditional soldering techniques are disappearing from dental labs everywhere - basically traditional soldering is a thing of the past.

The benefits of implementing laser technology are numerous . Some of the top reasons we use laser in production at Aorta include:

• Totally biocompatible
• Makes it easy to adjust appliances
• Provides an esthetic and natural feel to appliances
• Easy to handle, so it saves time
• Gives a great value for your money
• Corrosion resistant welding technology without solder
• High mechanical strength
• Homogenous welded structure
• Smaller heat affected area, therefore less warping occurs
• Ability to work closer to ceramic, plastic and composites
• Suitable for all dental alloys and titanium
• Titanium can be laser welded in an argon gas environment providing a bio-compatible and corrosion free appliance
  

Laser Biocompatibility

Using laser technology has various advantages in terms of the biocompatibility of the resulting product:

• 100 % hypoallergenic
• No additional metals or alloys are added to the weld
• The weld remains neutrally charged - no static
• Does not tarnish or oxidize
• Non-reactive, and the weld does not deteriorate in saliva
