Digital Band Education

We are committed to creating solutions with digital technology for the lab. With more and more digital STL scans coming to the lab, and many of them for phase I appliances such as expanders, we want to make the processes as seamless as possible. See Options below:

• EXCEL BANDS CASES 

We successfully band cases for expanders, lingual arches, and herbst appliances. Not only does this provide an excellent fitting appliance, but you can save your patients appointment times not having to reimpress after spacers are inserted.

• DR. SUPPLIES BANDS 

Offices can alternatively send us their bands in bulk and our techs will use your specific bands to indirect band cases from your office. When seating doctor-supplied bands, there is a charge of $6.00 per band.

• BANDS SENT SEPARATE 

If you are sending a scan for a fixed appliance, we highly recommend taking the scan without the bands in place and then sending in the bands. This allows us to print a tray to seat your bands, rather than printing, duplicating and then seating our bands incurring extra time and charges.

• LASER SINTERED BANDS

These bands are 3D printed with a chromium cobalt metal covering the clinical crown of the tooth the band does not extend interproximal or subgingival. This eliminates the need for separators which can eliminate a whole appointment for your patients. There is an additional charge to the cost of lab provided bands of

$56 per set for laser sintered bands.
