Product Profile: MyCad Bands and MyCad RPE 

The art and science of laser-sintered appliances


Many orthodontists are expanding their practices with laser-sintered appliances. This new product offering has sparked a love-hate dynamic among professionals with a “once bitten, twice shy” reaction. The technology can seem godsent; however, if the delivery procedures aren’t properly followed, offices tend to conclude the product is not effective as a value-added option.

The level of implementation for this product can be just as diverse as the types of treatment philosophies available today. While laser-sintered appliances might not be a sure thing for all treatment plans, some patients respond extremely well. Knowing how to properly implement this technology is the key to using this valuable tool.

With Cottonwood Orthodontic Lab’s MyCad Bands, MARPEs and RPEs, clinicians can streamline the fixed appliance process by removing the need for a separator appointment for the delivery of fixed appliances (or a TAD-first approach) to the MARPE.
