"The Hybrid Retainer has become my first choice for Post Orthodontic Retention. It is comfortable, durable, effective and well received by patients".

Clear Fusion Retainers have been the easiest and most comfortable removable retainers I have ever delivered to my patients.

Following orthodontic treatment, Invisalign or Fixed, long-term retention is generally required. Essix-type retainers are clear and comfortable, but only last 6-12 months on average. Hawley retainers last for years, but patients, particularly Invisalign patients, have a hard time transitioning to that style of retainer. The Clear Fusion Hybrid Retainer combines the best of both styles. Patients have been impressed with their fit and comfort, and I expect that they will prove to be more durable than the Essix-type retainer.

I Have been prescribing Clear Fusion Hybrid Retainers for over a year and I am very pleased with them. I routinely use them as removable retainers at the end of "Fixed" treatment. I find that there is very good patient compliance wearing them as they are "invisible" - once in the mouth. At the same time, they can be made with the part of the retainer behind the teeth in different colors- and are thus less likely to be lost. They generally fit at the time of insertion with little or no adjustments, and they hold lower anterior teeth as does an "Essix Retainer" but are more rigid and are less prone to "soften" and allow teeth to move.

I Just inserted yet another Hybrid Appliance. So far each has fit perfectly (no adjustments necessary). Patients returning with appliances all are pleased with the fit and feel. Patient cooperation, when I need the appliance worn full-time, is much improved because of appearance and ease. I look forward to expanding the envelope, finding more uses for the Hybrid Appliances.

______________________________________________________________ "The Hybrid retainer from Clear Fusion is now my retainer of choice when used in the transitional dentition. It allows for selective removal of individual teeth on the appliance as they loosen and exfoliate in the mouth, without compromising the integrity of the appliance; all with excellent fit and comfort."

The reason I am e-mailing you is to let you know that my patients who I have delivered the Hybrid Retainers to, truly love them. Majority of my patients want clear retainers and as you know I like the traditional hawleys for many reasons. The Hybrid I believe could be a win-win for both the Orthodontist and the patient. Insert is easy, fit is great. It is clear and invisible, and patients love them. The Hybrid Appliance will only make the Orthodontist a better Orthodontist! Dr. Debra Dobbs

______________________________________________________________ I would like to compliment you on the development of the new "Hybrid" Retainer. This new type of retention appliance is an excellent way to provide long-term stability post Orthodontic Treatment, while at the same time giving the patient a great esthetic option. Each and every patient that has received the "Hybrid" appliance has been very happy with the look, feel, and comfort of this appliance. Also, the color option is a favorite of many of our patients. Granted, just like any other appliance it is not for everyone, as poor oral hygiene can be a contradiction to it's use. The "Hybrid" retention appliance is a great new appliance that has a bright future in Orthodontics. Peter M. Koblan, III, DDS
