OraFit by OraPharma: Clear Aligners for Improved Comfort & Oral Health

Bausch Health Companies and its oral health care business, OraPharma, are the developers of a custom clear aligner system called OraFit, which is designed to correct malocclusion or crooked teeth. 

Improved Comfort

According to OraPharma, the system uses high-performance materials in a three-layer design, offering dental professionals and their patients improved comfort and overall long-term oral health.

“Malocclusion is one of the most common dental problems, and it impacts approximately two out of three people in the United States. With the availability of OraFit, dental professionals have a new custom aligner option that can easily fit into their patients’ daily routines as it aligns their teeth into position with improved comfort due to the gentle, consistent pressure OraFit applies,”  said Joseph C. Papa, chairman and CEO of Bausch Health. 

Clear, Crack-Resistant Aligners

Compared to other aligners, the plastic material used in the OraFit system has been proven to stay clearer longer and is highly crack-resistant, says a press release by OraPharma. The system also includes an online resource that allows dental professionals to easily submit cases and approve treatment plans.

Dr David J. Wohl, a general dentist in Fairfield, Connecticut, praised Orafit, describing it as a welcomed addition to his practice.

“Many of my patients with malocclusion are reluctant to use braces or aligners as a result of the impact they can have on their appearance,” said Wohl. “The clarity of OraFit may help to increase patient acceptance and compliance while also offering a meticulous fit. These benefits, along with the seamless integration that the online resource provides for my aligner wear protocols, has made OraFit a welcomed addition to my practice and to my patients.”
