On todays wire Wednesday (Live Streamed on a Thursday :) I bend a Lower / Mandibular Wraparound / circumferential Hawley retainer. I don't usually like bending these, I struggle a little with it but I will push through and show you how I bend mine.

The New Orthodontic Lab: Wading into Digital Orthodontics for the Small Lab
The orthodontic laboratory industry has never seen a change like this. It is more than about the technology. It is about reorganizing your lab and reorganizing the way you think about your lab. Buying a scanner or 3D printer is not like buying a new lathe or air compressor. It is not simply a matter of receiving models in a new way. What it is is creating a new department for your lab and integrating it into your current work flow.

2. Model Scanners and why you need to get one. It's all about the software.
3. 3D Printers: the salespeople are lying to you

Here is a real quick video showing how I do my acrylic application step in the construction of a retainer. THe method is call " Salt and Pepper" because of the alternating application of the monomer (Liquid) and Polymer (Powder). I have also heard it called "Shooting Acrylic" which I think I like better!
I get my Polymer and Monomer from http://jbcandcompany.com/

This is how I make acrylic inlay designs for lettering. You can also use this to do names and numbers or... actually any design as long as you are able to draw it with a pencil on the retainer.
