An undergraduate at New Jersey Institute of Technology made his own plastic braces using a 3D printer, $60 of materials, and a healthy dose of ingenuity — and they actually worked.

Faced with crooked teeth and access to a 3D printer, digital design student Amos Dudley has taken matters into his own hands, straightening out his smile with a set of self-styled plastic aligners.

They created a stainless steel 3D model of each tooth, which then "bit" down into gel, allowing them to measure the force required for each bite. "It's kind of like a really stiff Jell-O," says ...

With the help of 3D software and math, he was able to create models for fixing his teeth, which he took to the 3D printers at the college and printed a dozen of his personal retainers.

Amos Dudley 3D printed his own clear braces to straighten his smile. Name brand options for clear braces can cost up to $8,000, according to companies like Invisalign , Damon , and ClearCorrect .

The model also showed that the giant shark's mouth was likely around 5.6 feet (1.7 m) wide, and its bite was between 3.9 and 5.9 feet (1.2 and 1.8 m) high, depending on how wide it opened its jaw.

Called the Blizzident, it is essentially a custom-made toothbrush that's perfectly formed to the shape of your teeth. You go to your dentist, get a 3D scan of your mouth, and then upload the model ...

An Indian cancer patient who had a section of his upper jaw removed has been given a new set of teeth made with the help of 3D printing. The prosthetic device made from a wax model with 3D printing ...

3D printing has allowed high-tech corporations to create cheap prototypes, NASA to create parts for the International space station and, now, to create a 3D-printed toothbrush. While admittedly ...

The 3D Builder will start by creating a 1:4 scale version of the so-called "Landscape House." A Dutch contracting firm hopes to replace the construction crew with a flexible 3D printer mated with ...
