Each aligner is intended to be worn an optimal 22 hours a day for one to two weeks. [6] On average the treatment process takes 13.5 months, [7] although treatment time varies based on the complexity of the planned teeth movements. [6] The aligner is removed for brushing, flossing and eating.

The key to the design was a 16-element lens system that produced an extremely focused light source. The resulting system could produce 2.5 μm features, 100 millionths of an inch, equal to the best contact aligners. [9] Although the system was effective, meeting the goals set by the Air Force, it was not practical. [11]

Used only briefly, proximity aligners held the mask slightly above the surface to avoid this problem, but were difficult to work with and required considerable manual adjustment. Finally, the Micralign projection aligner , introduced by Perkin-Elmer in 1973, held the mask entirely separate from the chip and made the adjustment of the image much ...
These aligners no longer require heads to be hung on or clamped to the car wheels, instead the car either drives over a speed-bump style device that records the wheel and tyre measurements, or other aligners all the car to be driven between pillars containing fixed cameras that take the measurements from the vehicle wheels as they drive into ...
Without the X-ray dye injection, the blood and surrounding heart tissues appear, on X-ray, as only a mildly-shape-changing, otherwise uniform water density mass; no details of the blood and internal organ structure are discernible. The radiocontrast within the blood allows visualization of the blood flow within the arteries or heart chambers ...
