How to make the Tie Dye retainer

Here is a video I made showing how to make the tye dye design retainer.

You will find this and other videos in the Ortho Wire Podcast section.

We Have Some Loyal Mavericks Fans!

The patient wanted the dallas maverics Logo with the words "Champion" and "2011". THis design was the only way I could get it all to fit. Looking back, I wish I would have put "NBA" instead of the second "2011"

Illuminated retainer!

Someone in New York has patened the idea of inserting an LED light into an upper retainer and when activated projects and image such as a heart or letter of the alphabet onto the wearers tongue! I think this is so cool! I cannot wait until it comes to market maybe I will be able to include it into RetainerDesigner.com, so users can choose there own LED design. 

This will be a hit with he kiddos in the lunch room! Or adults in the club! :)
