Third lab I’ve tried to get some help from for my overflow. Just one man in an in house lab. Can’t always do it all myself. Between the frame and the set up I’m into this thing 400$. Really was hoping to be able to keep my business close to the west coast. 95595E87-007E-458F-AD41-0DC90161EA5B.jpeg CA613713-B793-4C51-9005-1E739EA81A0A.jpeg FF65530E-969E-4572-8D8B-A790957B94D5.jpeg

I’m constantly putting my own work down as mediocre,,, ‘best I can do under the circumstances.’ Then I see what else is out there. No wonder this is a dead industry.

I’ll just say they’re a large, well established lab in Portland or.

Clearly they are taking copious amounts of anti-glaucoma meds.
Agreed. What’s funny is they be home right now counting their money while I’m missing time w my kid to fix their work. America.

While I’m pissing and morning I’ve got another one for ya. I come into the lab this morning to find that my ‘dentist employer’ had used my brand new lathe bur to grind the palate out of a stone model in order to attempt to make his son a suck down night guard. I shoulda taken a picture of the condition he left my bur in. I’m losin it folks.

Not for much, but if he’s your employer isn’t it his new lathe bur?

Don't sweat the small stuff. Steam the stone out of it, or use it as a stone bur and let your boss buy you another bur for acrylic.

Such a simple concept you’d think I’d have realized the truth of the situation. Boy am I an idiot. Thanks for taking time out of your day to set me straight. Ya smug c$&t.

I can't tell too much from the pictures, what am I not seeing? Framework design for clasps not ideal and #9 is slightly longer/ ajar but fixable. Is it great..no. But it's a crowded up mess anyways. Just wondering your critique along with pictures.

On the west coast...the only folks I'd trust is Chromeworks. Cost a little more but usually they are always better than mediocre.

Hard to tell from pics,, #9 placement wasn’t even near the realm of acceptable,, the bite was being held open by the posteriors, the bi’s were cut down at the neck making them ridiculously short (tons of room, lazy tooth setting). Not to mention the frame was over contoured in the #9 buccal area causing me to have to grind off the retention loop as I fixed their work. Besides all that even if it was just #9 being set in a ridiculous fashion, I’m not wanting to get into the habit of redoing work I pd good money for.
