Tips To Avoid Delays

Scans/Impressions/Models:

• Full capture of last molars and 7-10 mm of tissue distal of the last molars
• Capture 5 mm of tissue above/below the gingiva
• Very minimal drag or pull
• Minimal voids
• No tray burn through
• Clean occlusion

 Bites:

• Check for protrusion.  60-70% is the ideal protrusion for most devices
• Check for deviation as the patient protrudes.  If the patient has a natural deviation from their natural midline in their protrusive bite, please mark on the order form.  Sample:  “Deviation 2mm to the right”
• 3-4 mm of vertical opening in the bite
• Mark on order form if we can alter the vertical, if necessary

Order form fully completed:

• Dr/Patient name clear
• All desired options marked
• Clear design requests
• Due date matches turnaround time plus shipping time
• If ordering a Panthera D-SAD, please submit a D-SAD Order Form.
