New Workflow

Same-Day Retainers
After Braces Come Off.

Scan before debond. We digitally remove brackets and wires so the Essix retainer is ready the same day the braces come off.

The Workflow

Five steps. One appointment.

Visual overview of the five-step same-day retainer workflow
  1. 01

    Scan with brackets on

    Take a full-arch scan at a regular appointment before debond.

  2. 02

    Send the scan to the lab

    Email the STL straight from your scanner. No portal, no account.

  3. 03

    We remove the brackets digitally

    Brackets and wires are cleaned off the scan, leaving a smooth surface.

  4. 04

    We fabricate the retainer

    Printed, thermoformed, and hand-polished. Ready next business day.

  5. 05

    Debond and deliver same day

    Braces off, retainer in. No second visit, no delay.

The Result

Ready before the patient sits in the chair.

While your patient walks in for debond, their retainer is already waiting — finished, fitted, and hand-polished. No waiting for impressions. No follow-up scans. Just a clean handoff on the same day.

Built to make debond day easier.

If you already scan digitally, this workflow plugs right in. We handle the digital cleanup. You handle the patient. Everyone leaves happy.
