GT FLEX ® GREEN - the World's First 100% Compostable, Plant-Based Material for Clear Aligners & Retainers
GT FLEX ® GREEN is a new family of eco-friendly bio-polymers designed specifically for clear aligners and retainers.
Each GT FLEX ® GREEN formulation is made from 100% plant-based materials and other naturally-occurring components, is 100% compostable, and is 100% free of traditional plastics. With an ease-of-use and functionality comparable to premium thermoforming plastics, our patent-pending GT FLEX ® GREEN materials represent a powerful new option for helping us all move together toward a greener clear aligner industry.
A Complete, Eco-Friendly Cycle
GT FLEX ® GREEN is part of an eco-friendly cycle in which 100% of the waste is composted to help create new soil, which helps to grow new plants, which help to make more GT FLEX ® GREEN.
Super Strong & Super Flexible
Like GT FLEX ® ORIGINAL, PRO, and MAX – our premium plastic materials for aligners and retainers, used by hundreds of thousands of happy dentists and patients worldwide – GT FLEX ® GREEN delivers world-class material properties, optimized for aligners and retainers.
Works with Existing Production
Although it's a brand new family of materials, GT FLEX ® GREEN works with the exact same equipment and methods that you already use with traditional thermoforming plastics. There's no need to purchase any new equipment or learn new techniques.
Plant-Based and 100% Free of Traditional Plastics
Made from plants and other naturally-occurring, non-toxic materials, GT FLEX ® GREEN is eco-friendly and the option for patients concerned about exposure to traditional (i.e., petroleum-based) plastics. It's BPA-free, latex-free, phthalate-free, and gluten-free.
Eco-Friendly and Biocompatible
GT FLEX ® GREEN is compliant with international standards for industrial composting. It has also passed a wide range of biocompatibility tests for materials designed for use in intraoral applications like retainers and aligners.
Unique and Patent-Pending
All of the GT FLEX ® materials incorporate a variety of proprietary innovations, designed to help them perform better as aligner and retainer materials. And the GT FLEX ® GREEN materials are patent-pending worldwide.
