Hi How do you know when a Dental office is looking for a new lab, is it if they contact you for prices? Thanks..

Hi I hope somebody can help, I've just starting using a biostar, I had been making a lot of Essix's through vacuum pulldown. Is it best to use a plastic foil separator when using the biostar for Essix and aligners? Im worried my current doctors will find the biostar Essix to tight or (loose...

Hi All, Thanks for all your replies and pictures, the info was exactly what I was looking for!

Hi I'm interested in getting into doing digital aligner setups so need to buy 3D printer. Does anybody have experience using form labs (form 2) printer for aligner setups. Are they as dimensionally accurate as pouring stone models ( using ideal stone;water mixing ratio) Thanks,

Thanks a lot for all the info!

Hi One of my head orthos wants me to place the name of his patient in the acrylic appliances, he said his old technician did it for him (just hand writing the names into the appliances) Does anyone know where I can get this paper or the quickest process to do this. - I will not be charging...

Thanks for posting that!

Hey, what temp water do you use in your pressure pot and do you use any disinfectant or mouthwash freshener before sending your cases? Thanks

Hi JMN, Thanks for reply. From the research that I've done it seems that most labs leave it up to the dr to disinfect the appliance as they are the final ones to fit the appliances, you never know a receptionist or dental assistant could be handling appliances with their bare hands before...

hi A couple of my dr's have complained to me that their patient tastes strong acrylic when they fit my appliances. I've tried to reduce the amount of monomer I use for each appliance but this hasn't helped. I do a lot of public children's health orthodontic appliances so would be nervous...

Yes my lap top?

Hi GerryB, Thanks for your descriptive reply, its very interesting to me as I'm looking at getting Orthoanalyzer to move the teeth for aligners. For the CA checker you mentioned have you ever tried sectioning teeth manually from a printed model (incase you get a digital scan from Dentist)...

Hi Garry B, I've never heard of the scheu software, is it the same as Orthoanalyzer for moving teeth. Why do you use both and why can't you design aligners for 3months rather then 1 month at a time? Thanks

Thanks for your replies. I was really talking about the ease of going into support office talking to support engineer face to face so they will fix problem more rapidly compated to a remote support technician.

hi I'm looking at buying 3ahape software especially Ortho analyzer. I have a couple of choices where to buy the software. Both software packages are exactly the same except the price is 3 times higher from the supplier 5mins down the road over the supplier who is 5hrs away. My question is...

Hi I want to use iTero scans in 3Shape Ortho Applinace designer software, for example making splints or Orthodontic retainers can dentists send me their ITero scans scans so I can use 3shapes Ortho appliance designer software to aid me making stages in making clear aligners. Thanks

hi Can anybody please let me know whether you you can use iTero scans in 3Shape software such as Ortho analyzer or Dental system. For example can a Dentist use the iTero scanner (Invisalign) and then send it to a lab who'll use 3Shape software? Thanks in advance

Ok thanks, so would you recommend buying a trios camera rather then model scanner?

Hi Hi rkm, Thanks for your reply, can you use the camera repeatable without computer buffering or stalling of the system. I'm guessing you are using it on mounted models because they don't easily fit in your model scanner, have you tried scanning in multiple mounted models at one sitting?

Hi I'm interested in getting into digital orthodontics and I was thinking has anybody bought a Trios 3shape camera instead of a model scanner. I'm thinking that a model scanner may become redundant in a few years but the oral camera will always be of some use (maybe resale or leasing to...
