Oh and the posteriors were all set in a cheek bite fashion.
Send it back to be corrected at no charge, that's what a Dr would expect from you.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.
Agreed. Unfortunately it’s not that simple. I had to rework the case myself due to time constraints. I definitely won’t be using this particular lab again (not the first issue). Easier for me to just work 7 days a week and do it rt the first time rather than fix other labs work.Send it back to be corrected at no charge, that's what a Dr would expect from you.

Just wow! My dad taught me function first then esthetics!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. View attachment 35003 View attachment 35005 View attachment 35006
Then there's those with neither.Just wow! My dad taught me function first then esthetics!
My issue with this is it can all be corrected (except fw) if it is in wax as it appears to be. You neglected to give a palatal shot which seems to not be in your typical concise post style... FW issues (contour/clasping) should be addressed in design/ cast frame try in stage. That ship flew. Don't forget most patients don't even know how many teeth they have. And always remember--- One man's "HUH?" is another's "OH, OKAY". lolHard 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).

Just raise your prices enough to drop an account or 2. Easy problem to solve but ya' gotta have a set...Agreed. Unfortunately it’s not that simple.

It’s been kind of quiet around here lately, some of us would appreciate it if you’d go ahead and take the bait.I think inna hurry wants to arm wrastle
Barksdale Dental Lab in HuntsvilleAppreciate the feedback. Thanks.
Might be better than what I've had going on here for the last 6 weeks (my elbow hurts) ....I think inna hurry wants to arm wrastle
A likable whiney beech though! Thanks for all the pics and sharing you do!Alright alright. You guys got me. I’m a whiny b@&$?h. (Takes one to know one. ) I shouldn’t have to explain to the frame lab that this thing needed i bars. My solution is to never send them work again.
It's actually comfort first than function than esthetics. It doesn't matter how well it functions if the patient can't wear it.Just wow! My dad taught me function first then esthetics!
Sorry but my old dentist take is "If they like the way they look they'll learn how to make it work". If they (or someone they know) thinks they look bad they will not wear it. No way, no how.It's actually comfort first than function than esthetics. It doesn't matter how well it functions if the patient can't wear it.
