Th is new product off ering has sparked a love-hate dynamic among professionals with a " once bitten, twice shy " reaction. Th e technology can seem godsent; however, if the delivery procedures aren't properly followed, offi ces tend to conclude the product is not eff ective as a value-added option. Th e level of implementation for this product can be just as diverse as the types of treatment philosophies available today. While laser-sintered appliances might not be a sure thing for all treatment plans, some patients respond extremely well. Knowing how to properly implement this technology is the key to using this valuable tool.
