Inlay Acrylic Design

I was asked by a patient to put the letters “YOLO” in her retainer. Yes, I showed my age by having to look that up! If your like me and don’t know, it means “You Only Live Once”. I thought that was interesting so I decided to record it. I also thought it might be a nice break from the wire bending videos, lest we forget that wire bending is only the first part of the retainer making process! Acrylic work is as important, and being able to do things like put kids names, numbers, and slogans in their retainer will only up your game with your doctors. So here you go hope you enjoy…
