Two women recently complained of a burning sensation
while wearing partials thought to be made of Flexite.
The patients confronted the Dentist and called the Flexite
Company to report the problem.
We knew the partials could not have been made from our
Flexite thermoplastic. Flexite has the highest safety rating
from The Clifford Consulting and Research Center in
Colorado Springs, Colorado. Clifford is an independent
laboratory that test patients for allergic reactions to dental
materials.
We confronted the Dental Laboratory who made these
partials and found out that another brand thermoplastic
was substituted in place of Flexite. The patient had
requested Flexite with the dentist but was given an inferior
knockoff product.
This is an on going problem in our dental industry that we
want everyone to be aware of. If you think you have been
given a substitute for Genuine Flexite please contact our
Company so we can investigate your situation.
Flexite is a very safe product that is thoroughly tested.
Flexite conducted safety and leaching test at Johns Hopkins
University that proved Flexite an extremely safe product.
There are No BPA’s or other harmful chemicals in Flexite.
Flexite is a 49 year old company and a leader in the dental
industry.
