Great Demo video. I'm sharing the link.
Hi Dr. Grutter, What do you use to take dental impression of your patient, and how does it cost per patient? Thank you for your amazing content!
Hi Dr. G, first i would like to thank you for your videos, they are very helpful for who is thinking to beginin the cad/cam dentistry... Witch material do you use to make the buttons in the patients teeth? normal composite? bulkfill? tkx!!
Yep. Normal composite. One assistant likes Flowable (G-Anial) and the other likes traditional packable (Filtek).
Hi, Thanks for the video it is very illustrative. I am about to begin to fabricate my own aligners and the last thing I need to buy is the pressure machine. Do you still using the ministar and Essix? what do you think about the Splint Biocryl 1mm? Thanks a lot.
Yep, still what we use. Lots of other materials out there work. Ace is just what I use
@@bgrutterdds Thank you. Do you have an upcoming course in Texas? Greetings from Mexico
Nothing on the schedule, but I plan on make one trip to TX toward the beginning of 2020.
Dr. G what material and thickness are you using for your clear aligners? Thanks!
hah you said it right there Essix Ace .040" Thanks
I use Essix Ace 0.040" (1.0mm)
I use Essix Ace 0.040" (1.0mm)
Hello Dr.G I was wondering if you could provide a link or website on where we can purchase the material brand essix for aligners .
We order direct from Raintree Essix.
Baron Grutter DDS Do you use the same material for the final retainers ?
i hope you see this comment...I dont know if you check the comments for these older videos. I know you use the Essix ACE 040- for aligners, but what tray material do you use for bleaching trays and clear retainers? thanks for your videos!!
I actually now use Zendura FLX 0.76 for Aligners and Zendura A 1.00 for retainers. For bleaching trays, I'm not sure and not really partial to any specific company. Probably just the cheapest since it's not a particularly demanding use.
@@bgrutterdds thanks for your response. Do you use a different tray material for the template button placement appointment? We just started using our SprintRay and bought the Biostar tray former. Excited for all of this. I think you are up in Ogden if I remember correctly? I’m here in Utah County.
Nope. I'm in Grand Rapids. Was in Kansas City before last October. We're using a thinner, cheaper template material for the buttons. Just started recently to keep from wasting an FLX sheet on them. Honestly don't know what it is, but it's cheap and from Zendura.
@@bgrutterdds lol..man...pretty expensive..over $4.00 a sheet. reason why you switched?
I was able to switch from Bi-weekly to Monthly in the software. That's twice the movement per tray. So, half as many sheets AND half as much labor. Half the treatment time, too. But that's just icing in the cake. In the end, it's probably break even or better. Plus, tracking has been awesome and patient comfort is that much better. I was reluctant at first. But now zero regrets.
Hi doc, do you treatment plan/design your ortho cases or do you pay a company for that... who do you recommend if you were to pay for it?
I design my own. LabPronto is an option.
@@bgrutterdds we currently use suresmile since it works well with our prime scan.. they charge $300 for the design.
Does lab pronto let you have the design free of charge and then you pay the fee after the patient accepts treatment? Does my question make sense ?
@@rbraithwaite1995 that's a good question. I don't know the answer. I doubt it. Sorry I don't know the specifics. I think the email is LapPronto@BlueSkyBio.com. if you want to ask them directly.
what thermoforming machine are you using? pressure or vacuum is better? Thank you very much
Pressure MUCH better. I use the Ministar, sold by Great Lakes Ortho.
@@bgrutterdds Thank you very much! may I ask more specific about this one www.greatlakesdentaltech.com/ministar_s_reg_with_scan_technology_018_001.html. is it good for aligners?
Yep. That's what I recommend
@@bgrutterdds thanks. I hope you have a great holiday ahead.
@@bgrutterdds is there any discount code available to use at Great Lakes Orthodontics to buy Ministar?
What material do you use for the button template?
We use the same as for the trays, Essix Ace 040. Some use 030 for the templates.
Baron Grutter DDS Thank you!
What's the role of the UV lamp ?
Final curing of the resin. It doesn't get completely cured during printing.
@@bgrutterdds Thanks !
First...
