Innovation in Orthodontics:
Discover Our 3D-Printed Sintered Bands
Absolute Precision, Without Compromise.
Laboratoire Bellomo & Lambert is proud to propel your practice into the digital age with our brand-new line of 3D-printed sintered bands. Custom-designed directly from your patient’s intraoral scans, these bespoke bands redefine the standards for patient comfort, durability, and chair-time efficiency.
Cutting-Edge Technology: Laser Sintering
Forget preformed or thermoformed stock bands. Our process utilizes state-of-the-art direct metal laser sintering (DMLS). A high-precision laser fuses specialized metal powder layer by layer, creating a component with unmatched density and anatomical accuracy.
Each custom sintered band then undergoes an advanced electrolytic and mechanical polishing process (HODETEC technology) to achieve a mirror-like, brilliant finish. This ensures optimal hygiene, prevents plaque accumulation, and feels perfectly smooth in the patient’s mouth.
Why Choose Sintered Bands from Bellomo & Lambert?
1. Micron-Level Accuracy
Thanks to a fully digital workflow (intraoral scanning), there is zero margin for error. The printed band perfectly hugs the unique anatomy of the tooth. It is highly effective for complex cases, short clinical crowns, or partially erupted molars.
2. Ten Times Stronger
Our laser-sintered bands are 10 times stronger than conventional stock bands. Because they are digitally designed, we can strategically modulate the thickness to eliminate any risk of tearing or distortion under heavy occlusal loads. This drastically reduces emergency appointments (less than 0.5% breakage rate observed).
3. Patient Comfort & Streamlined Treatment
- No Separators Needed: Since each band is custom-designed to fit the patient’s existing interproximal space, the painful and inconvenient step of placing separators is completely eliminated.
- Immediate Adaptation: No tedious chairside adjustments or trial-and-error fitting. The band seats perfectly on the first try.
- Ideal for Pediatric Patients: Minimizes intraoral manipulation and reduces anxiety. Treatments can begin sooner, without unnecessary discomfort or the need for minor gingival modifications on partially erupted teeth.
4. Optimized Profitability for Your Clinic
While our pricing remains highly competitive compared to traditional solutions, your real savings come from reduced chair time. Fewer preparatory appointments, ultra-fast seating, and a near-zero failure rate mean a much more efficient schedule and optimized overhead.
Seamless Integration into Your Workflow
The ordering process is identical to all your other digital cases with us:
- Capture the patient’s intraoral scan.
- Upload the STL file via our secure Intranet.
- Our expert technicians design the digital framework (perfect for custom Hyrax expanders, space maintainers, and other appliances).
- Delivery within 10 business days (rush service available for urgent cases).
