Splint & retainer laboratory
Custom appliances shaped around your prescription
Support your treatment plan with laboratory-made splints and retainers produced from the records, appliance design and practical requirements supplied by your clinic.
For dental clinics, dentists and their practice teams.
Prescription-led design
Appliance manufacture follows the design and case information provided by your clinic.
Careful model adaptation
Attention to the supplied scan or impression supports close adaptation to the working model.
Responsive case support
Questions are raised early when a prescription, record or design detail needs clarification.
Appliance support for your clinic
Clear options for distinct clinical requirements
Occlusal splints
Custom splints are manufactured to the prescribed arch, coverage and design, with supplied bite records and case notes guiding the laboratory process.
Orthodontic retainers
Clear retainers are produced from the final records supplied by your clinic, with appliance details aligned to the prescription and intended arch.
Replacement and repeat cases
When a replacement or repeat appliance is required, clear identification of the relevant records helps the laboratory confirm the appropriate starting point.
Useful case information
A well-documented case gives the laboratory a stronger start
The records and prescription supplied by your clinic guide appliance selection and manufacture. Providing complete, current information helps reduce avoidable questions and keeps the case moving.
For best outcomes we require:
- Accurate digital scans or impressions of the prescribed arch
- Opposing arch and bite records where relevant to the appliance
- Appliance type, arch, coverage and design instructions
- Any relevant case notes, timing needs or previous-appliance details
