Johns Dental recently added the new Clearbow retainer to our line up of retention options for hawley retainers. Clear retention bows have become increasingly popular for those patients who prefer to conceal their orthodontic treatment.
We are also happy to report that strength is not sacrificed for looks as the short video below shows:
The standard Herbst appliance is well known as an orthodontic and TMJ appliance used to treat class ll cases. In recent years, the standard Herbst has been modified to treat mild to moderate sleep apnea cases. The original design used shims to adjust the amount of forward movement, however, the current design uses a one-piece telescopic mechanism that advances the mandible into a forward position.
The orthodontic positioner from Johns Dental is a space-closing, finishing appliance that is most often used to complete orthodontic treatment. Clinicians may recommend positioners once fixed orthodontic treatment is complete. Positioners prevent relapse that discourages dental arches from returning to mal-aligned anatomy by use of “gentle force.” Some dentists may remove braces 3-6 months early,
Temporomandibular (TMJ) splints continue to reduce or eliminate jaw pain. One option that many clinicians turn to is the Phase 1 Myotronic Splint from Johns Dental Lab.The Myotronic splint is a transitional splint normally constructed with high-cuspid occlusion to maintain a proper condyle position. The cost of a myotronic splint is more than a traditional splint,
The demand for esthetic retention appliances is growing. Two of the leaders in this category are the QCM bow and the newer ClearBow. But what are the differences and advantages of both? Johns Dental Lab compared a few important features and benefits.
Johns Dental Lab offers a free partial denture design and estimate service to help our doctors estimate costs for complex cases or for the budget-conscious patient. Just send in a set of upper and lower models and we will reply with a design that includes not only a cost estimate, but also our recommendation for the best retention and rest placement.
Through the years we have noticed a variety of ways for dental labs to price their prosthetics and appliances. And we have also found doctors to be no different than any normal customer who likes to know what their costs will be ahead of time. With that in mind, we decided years ago to include all the amenities and features we could in our standard Hawley pricing.
