These retainers look amazing. I'm not in the ortho business but I've had to deal a few of these before. This may be a stupid question but is ortho acrylic different from the acrylic we use in denture labs? It looks like you can layer it on nice and slow without it drying up. Another stupid question, it does go into a pressure pot right?
The very few that I have done over the years we always just made them out of wax first. Pour it up in hydrocolloid in a pour flask then after boiling away the wax we'd just pour it in clear. If we needed color we would put monomer in a rubber bowl and soak the end of a Crayola Washable marker in it until it looked right. I bet that seems primitive to you guys, but what do you expect from a denture lab trying to make retainers right? lol
