Description
GC Aligner Connect
Aesthetic
With Aligner Connect, the high aesthetic advantage of an orthodontic aligner treatment is preserved thanks to its ability to imitate the appearance of tooth enamel. When evaluated by a goniophotometer (instrument that measures light at various angles), Aligner Connect’s results showed excellent color matching due its optical properties similar to enamel.
Handling
- Superior handling due to flowability and paste consistency
- Optimal curability even through attachment tray
Thixotropy
Vibrating the paste with the dispensing tip causes a slight fluidity for a more precise application.
Mechanical properties

Toothbrushing wear test
Aligner Connect maintained high gloss and long-term aesthetics after 12,000 brushings (equivalent to 1 year of brushing).
