A customizable clear retainer system featuring durable materials and an optional insurance plan for long-term patient support.
Product Overview
The Defend Retention System from DynaFlex streamlines the transition to long-term stability by combining durable materials with a highly customizable digital workflow. The system offers retainers in packages of two, three, or four sets, fabricated from the company’s durable Glacier LTR (Long-Term Retention) material. The retainers can be ordered with multiple laser-cut trimline options—straight-cut, scalloped, or modified scalloped—to balance retention needs with patient aesthetics. The entire workflow is managed through the DynaFusion Digital RX System, which includes a Brace Erase feature to digitally remove brackets from scans, allowing retainers to be fabricated before the debonding appointment.
