How do I adjust the nylon appliance?
The nylon anterior biteplane is easy to adjust. The technique is similar to that of a traditional appliance. Refer to the adjustment instructions enclosed with each appliance for complete adjustment instructions. The nylon adjustment supplies used in the technique are available from Great Lakes (see below).
What’s unique about the nylon?
The nylon material is the perfect vehicle for translating the detailed information from a 3D scan into an incredibly strong, flexible and lightweight yet durable appliance.
What about retention?
Each splint is digitally designed by our technicians, who optimize retention and engagement of the undercut in software. This results in a splint with ideal and consistent retention.
How do I send cases?

Important Information
"I am super excited about the nylon splints from Great Lakes. I scan with a Lucia Jig in place and ALL my splints have come back with occlusion that looks like it’s directly out of Pete Dawson’s textbook. The fit and durability seem to be superior also."
