The Effect of Thermal Cycles on Mechanical Properties of 3D-Printed Dental Aligners Incorporating Long Optical Glass Fibers

Clear dental aligners face a durability crisis in the harsh oral environment. We engineered a solution using glass fiber reinforcement. Can it withstand thermal stress and preserve strength and aesthetics? Well, the answer is YES! Find out more and read the research report.

Hi there! My name is Jack, and I have just completed my first year studying Global Health and Development at the University of Hong Kong’s School of Public Health. Besides, I am also pursuing a double major in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. My research project aims to analyse the effects of thermal cycles on mechanical properties of 3D-printed dental aligners incorporating long optical glass fibres. 

Beyond academics, I love traveling, hitting the gym, and spending time with friends. I am also passionate about gaining hands-on experience through internships and volunteer work, which helps me explore the world beyond the classroom. Feel free to reach out, whether you are interested in my research, collaboration, or just a good conversation about life!
