How much does an Essix retainer cost?

[Marcusthegladiator CDT]

How much do you charge your doctors to build an upper and lower essix retainer?

Im only asking cause we charge twenty dollars a piece to our inhouse ortho and another ten dollars to pour the models... but they dont want to pay ten dollars so I am forced to work with crappy models that the assistants poured and trimmed.

So just curious what the actuall charge would be if this were a normal situation with an outside account and no favors...

Also, how much do you charge for bleaching trays, upper and lower set?

We kind of have the same deal as the essix here...

I dont post fees on the net. Since you are working with their models, make sure you charge enough in case you have a remake.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!

Don't give them an option of the $10 model fee, just tac it on anyway. Say cuz i'm working on crappy models the process takes longer. It's like how some labs charge for soft tissue with the abutment even if the dr puts on his own with the impression.

Well I am not to curious about your fees...
But in general, how much do labs charge

Ok. Figure out your time and materials. I dont believe many labs are going to post fees here on DLN.

Ug...
Jut say between one hundred and one fifty. Or one fifty or two hundred ish.
Im sure if any one was REALLY insterested in a price list they could find your lab and call pretending to be Dr. Joe and request a list...
So I never understood the shyness of price other than different prices for different accounts, anyway.
