Anyone also having trouble getting teeth? Last few months I notice almost every time I order teeth, half are on back order.
All of emWith what companies?
I've had little issue with ivoclar. I mean I'm 10 minutes from their headquaters and we pick them up. Usually BL2 or 3 in A26 or A24B are backordered but only for a few days.No issues with Ivoclar blueline or phonares 2
Since you're going to be using the Ivobase why not just switch to Ivoclar teeth? I had some A3 on backorder once but they came in a couple of days later. Call your Ivolcar rep and have him set you up with a stock of teeth. You're in Virginia so you should probably have the same rep as we do, he's always been a great help.Just had my first "teeth are on backorder" response today. WTF I didn't know those went on backorder!! I guess no more portrait IPN for my dentures.
Since Dentsply stopped selling certain type of teeth, it overloaded the other companies. And yes most of them have back orders and prices are going up. One company is Zhan raising the price and warning to stock up for the season.Anyone also having trouble getting teeth?

Yeah portraits have had major problems started Fall 2020. Trubyte discontinued all tooth lines except Portrait and Classic, and moved production to Brazil. If I wanted Premium teeth, better choose another company. (Ivoclar, Vita, Pala)Just had my first "teeth are on backorder" response today. WTF I didn't know those went on backorder!!

Artic could be great teeth if they could match vita shades. But most are off. Not to mention that "stump" shading is awful. They need to be more monolithic or blended.We switched to Pala for premium and artic for economy. The wax the card of teeth came on for classic was driving our lab nuts. Way to sticky and runny it seem to never smear off. Curious if anyone has an issue with artic anteriors randomly having one or two teeth in the card slightly off shade.
Ivoclar teeth are better than IPN. Dentsply has more or less given up on traditional dentures so give up on them.Just had my first "teeth are on backorder" response today. WTF I didn't know those went on backorder!! I guess no more portrait IPN for my dentures.
Does the company buy back partial or full cards? If so that is the problem.We switched to Pala for premium and artic for economy.

They've all almost given up on us. There's more money selling us a $400 bottle of Elegoo than a $20 card of teeth.Ivoclar teeth are better than IPN. Dentsply has more or less given up on traditional dentures so give up on them.
I notice the only ‘vita classical’ shades that are offered in the mft line are A1, A3, C3 and D3, and then 13 shades from their ‘3D master’ guide. I already know my docs are going to get confused. ‘Oh well doc, in the case of A2, plz refer to 3D guide’ etc etc. Was this an issue for your accounts?We use Vita and we are by no means a large company and have not had any issues with teeth on backorder. I ordered teeth once a week at least unless it's a special order and had no issues.
