Celebrating 60 years of Orthocryl® in Orthodontics
For over 60 years, orthodontic experts have been confidently relying on Orthocryl® to bring smiles to millions of patients worldwide.
Orthocryl® has been a cornerstone in the world of orthodontics. Its inception marked a significant advancement in the fabrication of orthodontic appliances, offering both practitioners and patients a reliable, high-quality option.
Scientifically tested. Orthocryl® cold-curing acrylics have been extensively tested, both the polymerized appliances and the ground particles generated during processing. Impressive results proved their biological safety. Orthocryl® cold-curing acrylics are non-toxic, do not cause irritation of the mucous membranes and do not show any mutagenic properties. They have excellent biocompatible qualities.
Its enduring presence in dental practices and laboratories is a testament to its superior product characteristics and ease of use. Over the years, Orthocryl® has evolved, but its core mission of providing excellent orthodontic solutions remains unchanged.
tdl Precision Orthodontics
We had the pleasure of speaking with Sid Tass, the owner of tdl Precision Orthodontics, a renowned digital dental laboratory in Canterbury, Victoria, near Melbourne CBD. Specialising exclusively in orthodontics, tdl Precision Orthodontics boasts over three decades of experience with Orthocryl®.
Sid highlighted, "One of the unique features of Orthocryl® is its ease of use. Unlike other materials, it's not as smokey to cut and very easy to pour. After polishing, it achieves an almost mirror-like finish, and patients consistently report that it feels smooth and comfortable to wear."
tdl Precision Orthodontics is committed to continuous innovation and staying at the forefront of technological advancements by utilising the latest techniques, equipment, and products. Their dedicated team is passionate about delivering the highest quality orthodontic products and exceptional customer service.
Sid added,
"There are many things that I love about Dentaurum. The products that we use are second to none, and they've stood the test of time over the 33 years that we have been in business. They've been consistent and coupled with the incredible service we have received for so many years. It's a relationship that is one of my founding relationships."

Unleashing Creativity with Orthocryl® Colour Options
Orthocryl® has revolutionised the aesthetic possibilities of orthodontic appliances. Gone are the days of monochromatic, uninspiring dental appliances. With Orthocryl®, patients can express their personalities through a vibrant palette of colours, glitter, and decals. The introduction of Orthocryl® black & white has expanded these creative horizons, offering a sleek, modern alternative to the traditional colour spectrum. This unique offering enables orthodontists to cater to a broader range of demographics, appealing to those who prefer a more understated look. Orthocryl's® versatility in design enhances the aesthetic appeal of orthodontic appliances and boosts patient satisfaction and confidence.
Enhancing Patient Experience Through Personalisation
Personalisation is at the heart of the modern healthcare experience. Orthocryl® and the Build-a-Brace app align perfectly with this trend by placing design control in the hands of patients. This level of personalisation transforms the orthodontic journey from a purely medical procedure to a collaborative, creative process. Patients, especially younger ones, appreciate the opportunity to be involved in creating their appliances. This involvement can lead to increased motivation and compliance during treatment. Moreover, the ability to personalise appliances makes orthodontic treatment a more appealing prospect, potentially reducing anxiety associated with dental care.
