Special features
Includes patient models for in-office replacements, so the provider can refabricate the retainer for the patient without any additional lab fees.
Finely milled black and white acrylic powder is stronger, more durable, and easier to use than competitor acrylics.
The MTM (Minor Tooth Movement) System uses the patented Hilliard Thermoplier Pliers with Essix plastic for in-office fabrication of aligners and retainers.
A Hawley can be fabricated from .stl files that can be e-mailed to DynaFlex, so there is no need for impression material.

Special features
Fabricated from unbreakable Biocryl; allows for natural function since the occlusal surfaces and incisal edges are not covered; provides retention of all teeth, especially teeth that have undergone significant rotations and torquing.
FLRs are delivered with a two-tray indirect bonding system using either flowable light-cured material or self-curing adhesives.
These clear, invisible, aesthetic retainers have a reinforced lingual base. These appliances are very durable because they do not flex. Clear Fusion can be personalized with rainbow colors.
The material is 98% stronger than traditional acrylic. The modified composite material bends without breaking and is constantly self-relining for greater patient comfort.
It can be made in-office immediately after debonding orthodontic brackets.
