What are ortho labs charging for Maxillary Palatal Expanders ? With and without bands provided.

 

[Sune]

We charge round 280$ soldered to bands or cast in CrCo.
So many ways to do it.

Like the pic's!!! $280, I live in the wrong part of the world.

 

[rosarioortholab]

$280 is a great price. We charge $68.00 with bands. If we supply the bands it's 15.00 each.

 

[kcb]

We charge $69 for the expander and $18 for the bands with the buccal tubes and $15 without the tubes. $280 would be awesome !!!

 

[Sune]

Yes 1400,- danish kroner is way to much compared to other prices around the world.
But here we have higher taxes and higher salaries, so i think it's the same as your 68$
This is why alot of our work goes overseas

 

[Sune]

We to pay round 189$ for 1 Palatal split screw! + model + band/CrCo + work + shipping...

 

[trisha]

I charge between 65 and 68 dollar, with bands already in cast. From what I have heard my competitors charge $90+.

Nice & clean work, are you duplicating the model soldering on the duplicate & reposting on the master?

No these are cast in CrCo. - But we do make them on band's also!

Thanks.
No it is soldered on the "master model" and delivered to the dentist on this - it's not so nice...

How much are you paying for the forestadent snap-lock? What is the max expansion? Get mine from great lakes.

 

[rosarioortholab]

For forestadent snap lock if you purchase 5 or more it's about $18.00-$20.00
And you get free safety keys. Individually they're about $22.00

I am curious where you purchase your snap locks from?

I was commenting on Smilwires picture of her case.

I will have to give one a try. Great lakes is less , however you buy the key separate. Do you know if the screw is one solid piece or is it a laser weld? Whats the max. expansion that you can get out of it?

I Order them from Forestadent I get a large amount tho, about 1000$ at a time. But it takes the Snaplock(which GL charges 33.00 for) down to 17.00.
I usually buy 25 10mm and 25 12mm
