Where are the wire bender?

[bigj1972]

I want someone under 25 years old with at least 30 years experience wire bending that will change their technique and work for 1 dollar over minimum wage. Is what I heard...

You can’t change public perception and clear aligners are mainstream. I’ve never seen an ad for head gear and retainers. You still have to sell the patient and metal wires are a tough sell. I’m not talking about major movements, there is still a place for springs and major leverage that Invisalign can’t achieve. Inman aligners are probably more effective and brilliantly engineered but less patient acceptance and much higher cost perhaps. I know very little of the market.. I was speaking more of Hawleys and simple appliances.

I think experienced good wire benders are extinct. I placed adds in Craig's list and local publications
For two years and only 2 calls. One experienced but in her sixties the other thought he was experienced. Any suggestions from fellow ortho lab owners?
