I imagine that every dentist has at one time or another caught a plastic removable appliance (flipper) on a rag wheel and spun it into oblivion.

It's often challenging to get a high shine on difficult areas on a denture base or flipper.

Brasseler makes a felt wheel for polishing Bis-Acryl provisionals; however, I've found that they also work great on denture base material.

The next time you're unable to use a pumice/rag wheel to smooth the rugae on a denture or the plastic around a wrought wire clasp, try using one of these.

You may never use the rag wheel again.
