I dont do these very often so I thought I would do a quick video on how I make my super spring retainers with helical colils on the lingual mushroom spring.
This video I tested my new wireless mic system and i attempted to live stream and record the video at the same time. The live stream can be found at my Patreon account (Link Below) this was for Patrons only and they could see all the mistakes (Me losing the labial bow on the floor) in all its glory!
This is the edited but full video of what I recorded.

How to repair a broken orthodontic retainer in a dental lab
Here is a video of me repairing a retainer. This shows the simplest method. The other method involves stripping out all the wires out of the old acrylic and applying new acrylic.
Here is an overview of the steps:
You just need to open up the crack in the acrylic about 1 mm with a bur and bevel the 2 acrylic edges.
Scuff up the acrylic a little around the break area so that the new acrylic attaches and blend in better with the old acrylic.
Put separator on the model
Wax the retainer onto the model to keep it in place
Salt and pepper new acrylic into the gap over fill the gap so that you can trim it flat later.
Cure the acrylic

I was asked a while back if I could show how we make a camo retainer. One finally came a round and I remembered to film it. This is just one of many ways to make a camo retainer. I don't call this actual "camouflage" because it doesn't look 100% like camouflage that is why i just call it "camo" pattern. The Camouflage look is a different technique. This is an easy way for us at our lab to make it, and plus you can choose this camo pattern with lots of another colors like hot pink and black!
