A retainer only earns its keep if it seats the day it arrives and still seats a year later. We build every type to a checked, verified fit, and we keep your file so the next one is a reprint, not a redo.
Your patient calls three weeks after debond. The retainer snapped. The lab that made it has no record of the case, so it starts over with a new impression while the teeth quietly drift. The retention you promised is now a waiting game.
A clear retainer that rocks, a bow that stands off the teeth, a bonded wire that fights the bite. When the fit is off, the patient stops wearing it, and the case you spent months perfecting relapses on someone else's sloppy finish.
A lower fixed retainer is only as good as its bond and its passive fit. A wire under tension pops off, or worse, holds one tooth while another moves. You find out at the next recall, when the crowding is already back.
Every retainer clears a hands-on QC pass before it ships. Removable types are seated and inspected against the model for full adaptation and a passive bow. Fixed wires are verified for passive adaptation so they hold the arch without loading a single tooth.
We keep the STL for your case on file. A lost or broken retainer comes back as a reprint from the exact post-treatment position, so there is no new impression and no drift while you wait.
Fixed lingual and V-loop retainers are shaped and delivered with a placement jig so the wire lands passive and bonds clean the first time. The craft here is fit accuracy and bond reliability, the two things that decide whether retention actually lasts.
11 years at the bench. Clear Aligner, Diagnostic Set-up, IDBS, Splint, ROA. Owns your case from scan review through four-light QC, and keeps your preferences on file.
Scan or model both arches in the post-treatment position and prescribe the retainer type per arch (removable, fixed, or a combined setup).
Fabricate: removable retainers are thermoformed or bent on a printed or stone model; fixed retainers are bent or printed as a bonded wire with a placement jig.
Run QC: seat and inspect removable types on the model for full, passive adaptation; verify fixed wires for passive fit before they leave the bench.
Deliver and check fit and occlusion chairside. For fixed retainers, confirm the bond and the passive adaptation across the arch.
We keep the STL on file so any future replacement is a reprint from the same position, not a fresh start.
“A retainer looks simple, so most labs treat it that way. I do not. I seat every removable piece on the model and check the bow stands passive, and I verify every fixed wire adapts without loading a tooth. Then I keep your file, so if a patient ever breaks one, the next one is already right.”

Not perfect? Remade at zero cost. That's a promise.
The word spreads when the fit is right.
"Seated on the first try. Clean margins. Zero adjustments. This is what a well-crafted case feels like."

"I didn't need to make ANY adjustments. Fit perfectly right from delivery. I was nervous for my first case, but everything went smoothly."
"Every detail was precise, from margin to contact. Simply outstanding."
"I've sent a wide range of cases, from crown inlays to implant custom bone and veneers. I've had zero remakes so far."

"Dentlink followed up, supported, and I felt very cared for."
"The case fit great, no adjustments required. I like the appearance of the zirconia."
"No adjustments and esthetics were good. I like the overall contours and emergence profiles."
We keep your case STL on file, so a replacement is a reprint from the exact post-treatment position. No new impression, and no drift while you wait for a redo.
Hawley gives an adjustable bow that allows minor settling. Clear Essix is near-invisible but less durable. A fixed bonded lingual gives continuous retention with no patient dependence. Combined retention, a bonded lower with an Essix upper, is common and we build it per arch.
Fixed lingual and V-loop wires are shaped and delivered with a placement jig, then verified for passive adaptation before they ship. A passive wire holds the whole arch without pulling on any single tooth, which is what keeps the bond reliable over time.
A digital scan in the post-treatment position is preferred. If you send a physical impression, add $15. Prescribe the retainer type per arch and we take it from there.
One named master owns your case: a clear-aligner specialist with 11 years at the bench and a Korea National Dental Technician License, earned through a hands-on state bench exam after a multi-year dental technology degree. You reach that person by name, not a ticket number.
Retainers carry a 0.5 to 2 month warranty. If something is off, it is remade at no cost, and because your file is on the bench, there is no new impression.
Send your post-treatment scan and one named master will build retention that seats today, holds tomorrow, and reprints from the same file if it is ever lost.
