I have temporary retainers that have wires&hellip;.will this harm metal. Also what is ultrasonic vibrations per second? Thanks

This should not harm the retainers with wires, as it hasn't harmed my hard plastic retainers. I'm not sure of the vibrations per second, but remember this unit runs on batteries, so I doubt it's high.

28,000 vibrations per second. I have used two other brands at various spas I've worked at. I really like this one.

I don't feel any metal in my brace. it is very flexible and works great for me.

it would only be the same if the clippy-end were attached to something that is connected to the actual ground, aka "grounded." just clipping it to any piece of metal will only help w/ shock and/or static electricity, which is still good to do, but not as good as getting grounded.

I believe the colloidal metals can short out those devices. Do not take it if using a pacemaker.

I don't recommend these as they are too thick and have completely changed my bite. My dentist now has to do extensive work in order to get my teeth to meet properly again. Its worth getting a custom one from your dentist.

If you run the bare tool it will vibrate more since it has nothing to work against to dampen the vibrations. Put a blade in the saw and use it to compare. Mine vibrates a bit but not out of line with my corded saw.

Yes, Ultrasonic cleaners are great for handguns, dental/tattoo machines. Almost anything that is made of metal.

The box says, "Kills 99% of 7 common odor-causing Bacteria*, Helps Remove Plaque and Tartar, and Cleans and Brightens Removable Dental Appliances -*Independent 2009 U.S. Laboratory testing (ASTM method E1153). For use on Wire Retainers, Clear Retainers, Clear Aligners, Mouthguards, Nightguards, Bruxing Appliances and TMJ Appliances. Side note- wire appliances should not sit as long as other guards. Hope that helps.

I can't say what's "normal" because I have the same issue after roughly the same time of use. It's very bulky. I'm almost to the point of concluding that the thickness of the separate pieces, combined, cause my teeth to be too far out of alignment for comfort. The longer I use it, the less I like it. I'm about ready to try an athletic mouthpiece, and simply align my teeth to the same location as with this "adjustable" guard, when I do the first heat-compression.

Sorry I can't help. You may want to ask a dentist, Google your question or go to Supersmile.

This would most likely do the job for you. I believe that silver solders are the go-to variety for jewelry. I used it for stainless steel which is typically difficult to solder and it did an outstanding job. With a clean surface and using the supplied flux, the adhesion is excellent. I soldered a hole in the pan of an ultrasonic cleaner, so it is subjected to high-intensity vibration. There has been no problem at all with separation. At the price of this item, it is certainly worth trying.

I assume it does, because on the box it says that metal retainers must not soak more than 15 minutes.

I don't think with them being constructed the way they are from metal that there is much worry of that. My biggest problem was my having a big head also and I could not wear them long. They can be stretched by putting an object between the cups and letting it spread over time. Also by pointing a hair dryer at the head band this will speed it up. I personally just gave them to my wife because she loved them and bought a pair of Beyerdynamic's.

I set my dremel at max speed with glass and drill bit tip under water with some grinder coolant added. This is go keep the drill bit cool. The water also helps to reduce vibration. Remember go slow let the weight of the unit do the work. I have found with my drill press set up I am able to back the drill bit off and let it cool a second or two also. You will also some glass will seem to be harder than others and will require even slower drilling, red comes to mind. Just take your time.

I dont think it would hurt your braces as they are thin and not tight fighting but you should probably ask your dentist.

The repair is stronger than the original threads for all non-hardened metals. I used them on brake calipers with a 137ft-lb torque spec so they're definitely strong. The only stronger repair that I know of is to drill out and tap a much larger bolt... so I would say that you would be fine using the Time-Serts on suspension parts, though I don't know your particular setup.Hope that helps.
