What is the ForceField™ workflow, and how do I submit a case?
ForceField is designed around a digital workflow that eliminates traditional impression materials and thermoforming. This reduces chair time, removes lab pour-up and forming steps, and produces a precise, repeatable result.
The general process is:
- Capture the records. Take a digital intraoral scan of the arch to be protected (upper or lower). Because the workflow is digital, you avoid traditional impression putty and thermoforming.
- Submit the case to ROE. Use one of ROE's submission tools:
- Submit Case Online through the ROE upload portal
- Upload Files to ROE
- Send a Case
- Create or log in to your ROE account
- Specify the prescription. Indicate the arch (upper or lower), the sport (which guides the recommended thickness), and the color preference. Reference forms are on the Instructions, Rx's & Forms page.
- ROE designs and 3D prints the guard from KeyGuard® Sportguard Resin.
- Delivery. The finished guard ships back to your practice. The published time in lab is 2 to 4 days, not counting shipping. Estimate arrival with the Case Delivery Calculator.
A few workflow notes:
- If your intraoral scanner is not yet connected to ROE, follow the steps to connect your IOS to ROE.
- ROE is a full-service national laboratory, so if you do not scan digitally, contact the lab to confirm how to submit physical records for digitizing before sending a case.
- For help building or submitting a case, ROE offers Chairside Support.
To request current case pricing before you submit, use the Pricing Request page.
