That hex design looks like it is from Hey Gears model builder. We do not use that style it adds quite a bit of cost to build the models. We use the mesh type design it only covers the base not the entire inside of the model. Before we got our Hey Gears printer we just printed them hollow and...

We use Keystone Hard and Soft with great results for both materials. Following the IFU is very important. When we had out latest printer installed they told how long to clean the parts. They said do not go longer than that or it will cause problems. The IFU recommendations are not a suggestion...

Don't understand why he wants a hard/soft appliance for the composite. We make a clear essix quite often for temps which would be the same as what he is trying to do but without prepping. Not to complicated. Have one of your local friendly labs whip it out for you.

My thought if we stick with validated equipment and processes it shouldn't be any worries for us. The manufacturers did all the legwork developing these systems and getting approval from the FDA. So if we follow the IFU's we have done the best that can be done with the processes developed for us.

I do not compete for "the business". I simply offer it to them and they would rather use me instead of GW, even though I charge more. GW is a great marketing tool for me. A lot of my clients have used them and some still send some things to GW but a lot of them prefer a local service that we can...

Without looking at my numbers more than 80% are printed. The H/S splints are for light bruxing and low cost and not a treatment appliance.

I charge the same for our hard soft splints. Much more for our printed splints. I have new clients that I have pulled from Glidewell because they would rather use a local lab.

We offer both Keystone resins for our splints. Some clients like the Keystone soft and other like a traditional hard splint type.

I offer both.

Title says it all. Will also include mounting plates. Would like them to go to a good home where they will be loved. BO

I would rather have a thread die if there is no more interest than read through relies that have nothing to do with the OP.

Hey what about the OP? You all get off topic rants going on every thread here to voice your displeasures of life. Sad

The apprehension was we were changing their way of doing something. Then they realized it was a change for the better. Lack of vertical could be an issue regardless analog or digital. I feel it is easier to deal with in the digital world than analog world from design and mill/print than setting...

Luci print. Know others that are happy with the material. Tooth shades look good. Several pink shades for the base to suite your needs. You can repair and reline this material. Had two of my techs do a hands on program at Dentsply and that really help them fill in the gaps they had about working...

Been doing milled dentures for over 2 years. My clients were apprehensive at first but now they absolutely love them and say dentures are now fun to do. Would not be able to keep up with the demand if we were not doing digital. Lack of skilled technicians is also driving it. The printed material...

For the one offering clear aligners how are you structuring you fees (per tray or a tiered pricing)? Thanks

How many impression scans do you do in a typical day?

I looked at the Glidewell unit but could not justify the cost ($130,000.00) due to our volume. Love what it does though.

Just saw a recent you tube video on impression scanning. They poured a die trimmed it and used that for the die scan and scanned the impression. My scanners are slow right now might have them play around with it to see if there is any benefit over pouring the whole thing.

Years ago when Glidewell had their recycling program I asked them what they do with it. I jokingly said you make new discs with it and they said they sell it to a company that reformulates the zirconia to make knife blades.
