Orthodontic Appliances

Precision orthodontic appliances for every phase of treatment.

What We Offer

Talisman Lab’s orthodontic department fabricates the full spectrum of removable and fixed orthodontic appliances. From simple retention devices to complex functional appliances, every unit is crafted from the records you provide using materials specified for the clinical situation.

Appliance Types

Hawley retainers — Upper and lower Hawley retainers with custom acrylic colour options. Standard wire configuration or modified on request.

Essix / Vivera-style retainers — Thermoformed clear retainers for post-ortho retention; 0.75 mm or 1.0 mm material thickness available.

Space maintainers — Fixed band-and-loop, lower lingual arch, or removable designs for primary-to-permanent transition management.

Functional appliances — Twin Block, Bionator, Herbst (removable), and modified appliances on prescription. Full construction bite records required.

Clear aligner fabrication — We fabricate sequential clear aligner series from your approved digital treatment plan. Compatible with Invisalign-export STL files and third-party digital plans.

Occlusal splints — Hard acrylic Michigan splints and softer night guards; anterior deprogrammers on request.

Records Required

The records required vary by appliance type. In general:

  • Alginate or digital impressions of both arches.
  • Construction bite (for functional appliances and splints).
  • Cephalometric radiograph (functional appliance cases).

Detailed prescription pads for each appliance type are available from the lab.
