Most plastics experience a rapid force drop within the first few hours, leaving insufficient force for the intended wear period. Zendura FLX is engineered differently—it starts with lower initial forces and retains them significantly better than competing materials*, ensuring consistent performance and force delivery.\nForce: Initial vs 24 Hour* # Material Initial Force (g) 24 Hour Force (g) ZENDURA FLX 3007 1233 CA PRO 3417 722 ESSIX ACE 3884 661 TAGLUS PU FLEX 7937 661 FEATURES AND BENEFITS # At time zero, Zendura FLX starts with an initial force which is lower than CA Pro, Essix Ace, and Taglus PU Flex. Zendura FLX retains force more effectively than competitors over time. It starts with a lower initial force and also drops the least after 24 hours. Lower initial force means less insertion stress on teeth, which typically translates to greater patient comfort2. Despite the lower starting force, Zendura FLX maintains excellent force retention over time (56.8%), ensuring effective tooth movement without compromising comfort. ELASTICITY # Elastic recovery is the ability of material to recover to its original shape after deformation. Zendura FLX demonstrates high elasticity indicative of its ability to retain its shape over use period. When paired with tear strength data, Zendura FLX shows both, resistance to deformation and durability during treatment.\nElastic Recovery (24h) | 37ºC | Water* # ZENDURA FLX: 82% Essix ACE: 48% Taglus PU Flex: 28% CA Pro: 21% Duran: 16% Footnotes \u0026amp; Trademarks # ** Compared to tested materials. * Bench top data.\nCA Pro \u0026amp; Duran are trademarks of Scheu-Dental GMBH.

GT Flex a is trademark of GoodFit Technologies, LLC.\nEffective vertical movement requires not only elasticity but also sufficient impact strength to resist deformation caused by vertical occlusal forces. Zendura FLX’s hard outer shell provides the necessary strength to withstand these forces, while its inner elastic core allows for controlled tooth movement. Shukor NM, Shahrul AI, Norman NH (2025).
