Getting Started
SCAN & UPLOAD
Scan patient normally, capturing a full palate scan. No need to place separators. Upload scan and submit Rx using DynaFusion®.
DESIGN
The submitted scan is then used to design custom bands for the appliance. The fileis prepped for printing.
3D PRINTING
Once the file has been rendered and prepped by our team, we begin 3D metal printing of the custom bands in-house.

Bonding & Debonding
Instructions For Use
Bonding:
Follow Standard Band/Crown Appliance Bonding setup. Many different Glass ionomer or light-cured adhesives will work for bonding, however we recommend using Reliance Ultra Band-Lok Light Cure Adhesive (DynaFlex Item #18-UBLBPP).
Step 1: Ensure appliance fits patient properly prior to bonding.
Step 2: Remove moisture from interior of the bands/wings.
Step 3: Acid etch the lingual surfaces as needed. We recommend using Reliance S.E.P. (DynaFlex Item #18-SEPD and #18-SEPR).
Step 4: Place a small amount of adhesive around the occlusal surface of the crown/band and other surfaces touching teeth based on the design of appliance.
Step 5: Seat the appliance with a bite stick or cotton roll to ensure proper fit.
Step 6: Clean up any excess adhesive/flash.
Step 7: Light cure as needed per adhesive instructions.
Debonding:
Debond is similar to traditional band/crown debonding technique.
Step 1: Use band/crown removal instrument (DynaFlex Item #M-D444). Option: Slit the buccal side of crown with a bur for easy removal.
Step 2: Remove remaining adhesive and properly clean all tooth surfaces where bonding occurred.

“Banded appliance visits used to be kind of stressful. Now they’re predictable and relaxed. A couple seconds prepping the patient, a few more seconds placing the appliance, and the rest of the time covering patient education. Fits our workflow about as nicely as it fits in the mouth“
Dr. Christopher Cetta, DMD
Blue Wave Orthodontics
“I love the precise fit and digital workflow of the metal 3D printed appliances from DynaFlex®. Simply scan and then cement! No goopy impressions or separators needed. It’s a great way to differentiate your practice!“
