from the president Welcome to our 2012 Master Catalog! I am very excited to share with you our newly redesigned catalog. Immediately, you will notice that we have combined all of the divisions of DynaFlex into one complete master catalog. This was a major accomplishment by many of our fine people and we hope that you will enjoy the ease and convenience of having everything in one catalog right at your fingertips. As you will see, we have made a tremendous investment into the future of digital orthodontics by opening up our newest division 3D.Ortho. This division is wholly focused on bringing digital technology to every office in the country and then integrating that technology with laboratory manufacturing, bringing you the most efficient and accurate appliances in the industry. In 2011, the FDA granted DynaFlex 510k clearance on several snoring and sleep apnea devices; now we are the only laboratory in the country with eight FDA cleared snoring and sleep apnea devices. Snoring and sleep apnea are rising at an alarming rate and we believe utilizing intraoral devices for treatment of this disease can be an effective and secure way to help your patients. I want to personally thank each and every customer for their loyal support in 2011. Thanks to you, it was the most successful year in our history. The future for DynaFlex has never been brighter. Even after 46 years of manufacturing high quality appliances and products; I truly feel that our most exciting years are still to come. I hope that you continue to give us the opportunity to earn your trust as a client and a friend in 2012. If I can ever be of service to you or your staff, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
Sincerely,
Darren Buddemeyer

How to Send a Case
Accurate working models and an appropriate construction bite are required. Please pour working models in orthodontic stone. Check impressions for any “pulling in” of the alginate material away from the impression trays to help eliminate model shrinkage and distortion. For accurate working models, all impressions should be poured as soon as possible. Prescriptions can be downloaded at www.dynaflex.com. If your practice is equipped with an orthodontic scanner and you can obtain an .stl file from the scan, these files can be transferred to DynaFlex electronically for appliance fabrication.

3D.Ortho ™
Changing the Way You Practice...Forever! 3D.Ortho™, a division of DynaFlex®, is now accepting .stl files from all major digital scanning companies for appliance fabrication. With the technology behind our Objet Rapid Prototyping Printers, DynaFlex® can print models and start appliance fabrication with the click of a mouse.
In 2011, orthodontics reached a new milestone: the ability to become alginate free. 3D.Ortho™ a division of DynaFlex® began offering alginate-free appliance fabrication in January of 2011. This means that your practice can use an intra-oral scanner to scan your patient and send that electronic file to DynaFlex for appliance manufacture. We will then send that file to our rapid prototyping printer which will create or “grow” an exact replica model from your file that will be sent to our technicians in the laboratory. DynaFlex® can also accept any open .stl file from most major scanner manufacturers including Cadent™, Motionview3d and 3Shape. We can also provide your practice with digital model storage if you do not own your own scanner. Please contact us at 800-489-4020 to schedule your free demonstration.

3D.Ortho Digitize Your Existing Impressions Digital Model Storage saves you time and space! Traditional time consuming, dusty and less accurate model making steps are eliminated when you send DynaFlex your upper and lower impressions and a bite registration. We scan the impressions and, within very short order, you will receive back digital scans of your models via our DynaFlex File Portal.
With each DMS case you will receive a digital model that you can easily manipulate on your computer screen and a .pdf that contains six views of the case in a 1:1 ratio.

Confirmation can be found at the FDA website, www.fda.gov. “I have been using DynaFlex Lab for my Dorsal Appliances for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea patients for over three months, and I am very pleased with both their service and the quality of their lab work. DynaFlex has been in the business of making orthodontic and sleep apnea appliances for decades, so they are well versed in the nuances of appliance construction. My contact person, Gary Quaka, has been excellent to work with and is very responsive to my needs as a dental sleep medicine practitioner. If I need any customization or modifications to my appliance design, DynaFlex is quick to respond. Their turnaround time and customer service are excellent, and their fees are very competitive. I am fortunate to practice in St. Louis where DynaFlex is located, but I would have no hesitation working with DynaFlex no matter what city I lived in. DynaFlex has quickly become my ‘go to lab’ for the Dorsal Appliance.” To learn more about our sleep appliances scan this code

Dorsal Appliance Originally designed as a nighttime TMD splint, the Dorsal appliance has evolved into one of the most popular choices for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. The two piece construction allows for patient comfort and lateral jaw movement. The Dorsal fins on the mandibular appliance interface with inclines built into the buccal of the upper appliance to dictate a specific mandibular position. The appliance is traditionally fabricated with adjustable screws in the maxillary appliance to allow for further mandibular advancement. This appliance can be fabricated in a variety of materials including acrylic, dual laminate or thermal splint material.
TAP® 1, TAP® 3 & TAP® 3 Elite Thornton Adjustable Positioner This two piece appliance is the newest addition to the TAP® family of appliances. The TAP® 3 is fully adjustable, both in a vertical and horizontal plane, providing dentists the ability to locate the ideal mandibular position for their patient. This custom appliance is fabricated with separate upper and lower trays. The maxillary component utilizes an adjustable screw and hook which interfaces with a lower socket to hold the mandible in the desired position.

DynaFlex® offers 8 FDA 510(k) Cleared Appliances DynaFlex is the ONLY lab that offers you 8 FDA cleared appliances. Our digital laboratory stores your digital records, meaning if your patient loses or breaks their appliance, simply call us and we can make a new one - no reimpression necessary.
LISA® The LISA® appliance was developed by Dr. Harry Legan, an orthodontist who spent 32 years in academics and recently retired from Vanderbilt University. The LISA® appliance is a one piece, non-adjustable design that is easy to place and very comfortable for the patient. It should be selected in cases where the doctor has determined the most desirable forward position of the mandible and will not be adjusting throughout treatment. It is a very effective, valued priced option for patients compared to other devices.
LISA II® Developed by Dr. Harry Legan, the LISA II® is a dynamic, adjustable design. This appliance will allow the doctor to advance the mandible throughout treatment by use of the two adjustment screws located in the maxillary arch. This appliance is often used in cases where the doctor has not identified a specific mandibular position and will need to adjust the position during treatment.

EMA速 The Elastic Mandibular Advancement appliance is the smallest of our obstruction sleep apnea appliances. The individual trays are constructed of 2mm vacuum form material and are held together with straps of varying lengths and flexibility. These straps provide unsurpassed lateral movement and comfort as well as dictating the amount of mandibular advancement. These straps are positioned between the teeth and cheek leaving the palate free from obstruction.
Adjustable Herbst速 Appliance The adjustable Herbst速 is a two piece construction held together by two adjustment mechanisms on the buccal or outer area of the upper and lower appliance. The adjustment mechanisms are designed for the doctor to incrementally advance the mandible to the desired position. This appliance is desirable for the patient that wants a minimal amount of acrylic to preserve as much tongue space and would like the adjustment capability.
