[QUOTE="orthoace, post: 62968, member: 6898"] Hi there, I am currently setting up a new orthodontic lab, so I am choosing which equipment to buy. I have used the salt & pepper cold cure technique for the past ten years on all my appliances and like it very much. Although after reading 'Practical Guide to Orthodontic Appliances' (Great Lakes),I am wondering are Thermoformed appliances better. Hopefully someone can answer any of these questions: 1. Can Thermoformed process be used on all dental appliances ie Functional Twin Blocks and Bionators? 2. Do Thermoformed appliances have the same good result and take the same time to process/finish than salt & pepper process. 3 With setting up my new lab I would be interested in the Thermoformed machine as I would not need to buy a fume cupbard, pressure pot, pressure hose, Pulldown machine. - Am I correct in assuming this? Lastly, How does the cost of materials used in the Thermoformed process compare with salt & pepper technique. Thanks, - Any answers would be greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
