StarAligners™ Announces the Launch of its new Illumina™ Oral Therapy System
StarAligners Illumina™ Oral Therapy System, with its unique three wave lengths of light, enhances gum health, increases circulation, and provides teeth whitening and photobiomodulation (PBM).
SHELBURNE, VT. -- StarAligners, Inc, a leader and innovator of clear aligners, orthodontic products, and solutions, announces the launch of Illumina™, an innovative orthodontic product new to the market. Incorporating three distinct wave lengths of light, the Illumina™ can assist in reducing treatment time on clear aligner therapy1 using near-infrared light in addition to whitening teeth and can slow, and in some cases, reverse receding gum lines.
Mitochondrial enzymes can absorb photons from light and increase the production of Adenosine 5' – triphosphate ATP energy, allowing the tissues to metabolize normally. ATP production has been shown to be upregulated twofold by infrared light, also known as photobiomodulation. By combining three, distinct types of light, the Illumina™ device is exceptional for overall patient outcomes.
Illumina™ offers three wave lengths of light:
450nm Blue (for teeth whitening)
600nm Red (for gum health)
850nm Near infrared (for facilitating tooth movement)
The StarAligners Illumina™ Oral Therapy device uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the infrared and red spectrums that are medically proven to increase circulation, enhance gum health, increase circulation. Non-UV blue lights increase the effectiveness of whitening gels by removing tannin stains from coffee, tea, and wine, leaving whiter teeth. The device also comes with a 1.7oz bottle of StarAligners™ Teeth Whitener & Aligner Cleaner foam specially formulated to work with Illumina.
"Thanks to the innovative technology of Illumina™ is a game-changer for patients and our business," states John Nabors, StarAligners VP Operations and Sales. "Photobiomodulation has been around for decades, and multiple peer-reviewed articles demonstrate the efficacy of its use in accelerating clear aligner treatment. We have an exceptional device that doctors can now order for their patients or can be purchased directly from our ecommerce site."
