All retainer options can
be fabricated from digital
impressions/scans provided
by your office directly to
AOA. This technology may
allow for a more accurate
fit due to the elimination of
impression-taking variables.
All of our acrylic designs
can be customized by our
acrylic artists using AOA’s
wide variety of colors,
custom art, and decals.

ClearCorrect retainers
are made with Zendura®.
Dental models (the
production molds) are
included at no additional
charge so doctors can
easily make replacements
in-house if the retainers are
lost or wear out.

MTM® Clear•Aligner
In-Office utilizes Essix®
Brand plastics and the
Hilliard Thermoplier® Pliers
to fabricate clear plastic
aligners that move teeth with
integrated “force points.”
This technique can be used
as a stand-alone aesthetic
treatment, for mid-course
correction or refinement
of orthodontic cases, and
in preparation for other
cosmetic or therapeutic
procedures.

DynaFlex is able to
fabricate any traditional
orthodontic appliance
from digitally scanned
orthodontic impressions.

Track A has an integrated
separating foil, which
reduces preparation time
and supply inventory.

The Hawley is primarily
for retention, but a variety
of springs can be added to
correct individual teeth.
Shown with soldered “c”
and color pattern option.

eFiber makes one-visit
invisible bonded ligual
retainers. The translucent
eFiber is impregnated with
both PMMA and BisGMA and bonds directly
to etched enamel. Easy
to adjust and polish to a
smooth surface. Eliminates
metal, food traps, and
patient discomfort—all
chairside.

Special features

This style of retainer gives
you the benefit of a wraparound in that it does not
cross the occlusion but
adds to the flexibility and
security of retention. Clasp
design is your choice, as are
laser weld or solder options.

The Adjustable COR (Clear
Orthodontic Retention)
Retainer is easy to use,
comfortable to wear, and
constructed of unbreakable
Biocryl. It delivers stability
and permits natural bite
function—especially
following extensive
orthodontic treatment—
because the biting surfaces
and edges are not covered.
Designed for final retention,
the COR can also be used for
minor corrections.

The appliance can be
constructed with scalloped
wire to prevent flossing
issues.

This wireless patented
hybrid retainer combines
the aesthetics of a clear
invisible retainer and
the rigidity of a Hawley
appliance.
