The Iman power component is protected by Great Lakes. The words "Spring Aligner" were protected by Professional Positioners, now part of AOA.
Probably should change the name a bit, somethimg like," spring loaded distalizer" would work.
By the way, I tried to purchase the parts for the IPC from Great Lakes a little over a year ago. They weren't for sale to anyone for any price. Only to drs by pres. for the appliance itself. They available now??
This is the same I found concerning getting a RPE with sheaths welded to it. They were available for a short time, then went off the market. I traced them to AOA, they refuse to sell the RPE with sheaths and have an exclusive hold on that product now.
This kind of chicken**** behavior gets me really pissed. These guys couldn't hold on to certain bits of business any other way. Folks like Trisha, Cade, and myself can hold them by the nose and kick their asses any day of the week.
The both of these "businesses" also have a strong hold on the price of Herbst parts. Herbst is another name protected by Dentarum. Maybe it still is.
Doesn't this type of "financial control" of free market just get your adrenaline flowing?? Does mine.
