"Our practice has been SO thoroughly impressed with ODL Orthodontic Lab! From their amazing, fun appliances to their exceptional customer service, we truly enjoy partnering with them to create an outstanding experience for our patients! Their 3D laser sintered bands have simplified the expander process for us and our patients. ODL is our go-to lab for all of our metal appliances! They are AMAZING!"

ODL has been nothing short of amazing! The team is always so friendly and accommodating when it comes to making sure we receive our appliances on time. For a practice that has multiple locations and a lot of rush cases this can become a daunting task, but they always rise to the occasion and make it happen! I would highly recommend them to anyone who may be looking for a new lab.

I have been using ODL for 27 years now and would never consider switching to another lab. Why would I? Their products are consistently well made and they keep their lab up to date with current techniques. They are very easy to work with on special cases. Thanks for being a great partner in my practice ODL!

This lab rocks! I couldn't imagine practicing without EasyRx. I love how well they integrate with the software. If you have been practicing, you know that there are not any labs that come without their flaws. While they are minimal, ODL does have their flaws. What they excel at, is their communication and customer service despite such flaws. To me that is everything and I highly recommend working with them!

By far the best lab i've ever dealt with as an orthodontist. I have been practicing for 11 years, and have dealt with a number of labs in my career. Once we moved to scanning and eliminated impressions i wanted to find a new, up to date lab for my practices... Mike Wright called me after i emailed the lab some general questions and answered all my questions... i've been using them every since, and have never had such great fit for all my appliances, included banded appliances. Their Vivid retainers are great with accurate virtual bracket removal. Easy Rx is a huge advantage for online Rx's as well. Above all however, the customer service is tops! If you need a new lab ODL should be your choice!

Perfect fitting appliances, progressive approach, easy and on time appliance deliveries. In fact I use them and I'm in California. A little more in cost than other labs but you get what you pay for!!!

I can’t say enough great thing about ODL and their team. We actually switched away from an in-office lab to ODL for all appliances, including retainers, over the past year. I have no regrets and don’t see us switching back anytime soon. Their digital platform using utilizing EasyRx makes the communication seamless and easy. The quality of the appliance along with their packaging is top notch. The turn around time is very good, especially for a lab that is across the country from us. The few times I’ve had to call directly, their team has been very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. This lab is by far the best I’ve ever worked with. Thanks Tom and team for taking such great care of us.

When I think of what the ideal orthodontic lab should provide my office, I think of things like easy, high tech Rx communication, quick turnover times, fair pricing, and of course (and most importantly) products that fit my patients the first time. I have been using ODL exclusively for more than 10 years professionally and they have never failed to execute each of the above points with precision. They are not an "old school" dental lab just clunking along making appliances. Mike Wright and crew are ever innovating and coming up with ideas and solutions to make my practice life easier and my patient experience better. I would without one single hesitation recommend them to any Orthodontist looking to upgrade their current lab situation.
