A: Sometimes you may need assistance in selecting the best appliance to treat a Minor Tooth Guidance case. For these types of scenarios, the Appliance Review Letter can be requested. When a more in-depth analysis is required or when you intend on sending complete records of your patient (models, panorex x-ray, cephalometric x-ray, photographs, etc.), we would recommend the Orthodontic Diagnostic Service. This comprehensive report includes step-by-step instructions on how to treat a particular case.

A: First, it depends upon the type of case it is. Second, it depends upon the type of records you intend to send for evaluation. The Appliance Review Letter is to assist you with single-phase, minor tooth guidance cases when utilizing upper and lower models for evaluation.  If additional records are being sent for evaluation (i.e. cephalometric film) or if a case needs multiple phases requiring orthodontic and/or orthopedic therapies, refer to the Orthodontic Diagnostic Service.

A: For all Second Opinion related cases, click on “Case Archive” on the left column or call 800-423-3270 and ask for the Second Opinion Department. NOTE: Currently, the “Digital Report Archive” option is available only if the “Submit a Case Online” feature has been utilized or if a Digital Report was selected on the Patient Profile form

A: We do not recommend sending wet impressions due to leakage concerns and likelihood of distortion of the impression material. When sending in models, send white stone models (preferred) and wrap the models and wax bite separately and carefully so as to avoid breakage.
