Freeprint Ortho UV DETAX – transparent 3D resin for orthodontics and guides
The Freeprint Ortho UV DETAX 3D resin is a biocompatible photopolymer resin designed for the fabrication of orthodontic appliance bases, drilling guides, occlusal splints, and fixation splints in dental laboratories.
Its transparent formulation allows precise visual control of support areas, drilling trajectories, and appliance fit. It provides very good mechanical stability, resistance adapted to clinical requirements, and an easy-to-polish surface for a clean, comfortable, and professional result.
A transparent orthodontic 3D resin for the digital dental workflow
Freeprint Ortho UV integrates into a CAD/CAM workflow dedicated to laboratories producing 3D printed orthodontic appliances with a high level of accuracy, stability, and traceability.
It is particularly suitable for applications where transparency, mechanical resistance, dimensional stability, and compatibility with a controlled clinical protocol are essential.
Advantages for the laboratory
- Transparent resin for precise visual control of the appliance fit.
- Very good mechanical resistance for orthodontic appliances and splints.
- Easy polishing to improve intraoral comfort and finishing quality.
- Dimensional stability suitable for functional dental appliances.
- Neutral odour and taste for improved patient comfort.
- Autoclave compatible according to a validated protocol.
Dental applications
- 3D printed orthodontic appliance bases.
- Drilling guides and radiographic templates.
- Transparent occlusal splints.
- Orthodontic fixation splints.
- Appliances requiring visibility, stability, and clinical control.
- Orthodontic work produced within a 385 nm digital workflow.
Transparency, stability and resistance for orthodontic use
Freeprint Ortho UV has been developed for orthodontic appliances requiring a combination of rigidity, controlled elasticity, and resistance to intraoral stress. Its transparency makes it easier to check contact areas, support zones, and trajectories during try-in or clinical validation.
After printing, cleaning, post-curing, and polishing, the final appliance provides a smooth and comfortable surface. This finishing quality is important to reduce irritating areas, improve hygiene, and support better patient acceptance of the appliance.

Printing recommendations
Use a validated printing profile for your LED / UV printer compatible with 378–388 nm. Final accuracy depends on machine calibration, part orientation, support placement, layer thickness, and STL file quality.
For guides or splints, avoid placing supports on functional areas or fitting surfaces. Controlled orientation helps reduce distortion and achieve a more regular surface after post-processing.
Post-processing and finishing
After printing, the appliance must be cleaned, dried, and post-cured according to a validated protocol. This step is essential to achieve final mechanical performance, stability, and biocompatibility of the finished device.
Progressive polishing improves transparency, reduces surface roughness, and increases intraoral comfort. Edges must be carefully rounded, especially for occlusal splints and appliances worn in the mouth.

FAQ — Freeprint Ortho UV DETAX
Is Freeprint Ortho UV suitable for surgical guides and drilling guides?
Yes, Freeprint Ortho UV is suitable for the fabrication of drilling guides, radiographic templates, and transparent appliances requiring good dimensional stability.
The transparency of the material makes it easier to visually check support areas and trajectories. Compliance with the printing, cleaning, and post-curing protocol remains essential to obtain a reliable and stable appliance.
Can this resin be used for occlusal splints?
Yes, Freeprint Ortho UV can be used for occlusal and fixation splints when the indication matches the manufacturer’s protocol.
Finishing is important: edges must be rounded, the surface polished, and the fit checked to ensure comfort, stability, and safety during intraoral use.
Can the resin be sterilised in an autoclave?
Freeprint Ortho UV is indicated as compatible with a validated autoclave sterilisation protocol. The manufacturer’s recommendations must be followed to preserve dimensional stability and the mechanical properties of the appliance.
After sterilisation, it is recommended to check the fit, the absence of cracks, and the quality of functional areas before clinical use.
Which post-processing protocol should be followed?
After printing, the appliance must be cleaned, dried, and post-cured using a suitable curing unit. Post-curing is essential to achieve the final material performance and secure biocompatibility.
Final mechanical polishing improves transparency, reduces roughness, and increases intraoral comfort, especially for splints and orthodontic appliances worn in the mouth.
Why choose a transparent resin for orthodontics?
Transparency makes it easier to visualise support areas, contact surfaces, and the appliance fit. This is an important advantage for guides, splints, and orthodontic appliances requiring precise control.
It also provides a more discreet and professional appearance while making verification easier both in the laboratory and in the dental practice.
