[LIVE] Old School Ortho: Resetting Plaster Teeth & Making a Hawley Retainer in 1 Hour!

We're taking it back to the classics! In this live stream, I’ll be working with an old-school plaster model—no 3D printing here. Watch as I use the traditional technique of cutting out and resetting teeth in wax to their ideal positions, then complete a Hawley retainer from start to finish—all within one hour.

🔨 What you’ll see:

Tooth resetting in wax on a plaster cast

Hawley wire bending techniques

Acrylic application

Trimming, pumicing, and polishing


This is a great session for lab techs, students, and ortho enthusiasts who want to see how it used to be done—and still can be! Ask questions, follow along, or just enjoy the process.
