This video shows how to make a labial bow from start to finish. It should also be an answer to the 4-4labial bow video where I never showed how to bend the hawley loops. No voice over just text description this time. Enjoy!
Here is a real quick video showing how I do my acrylic application step in the construction of a retainer.

I get my Polymer and Monomer from http://jbcandcompany.com/
