The customer guarantees that all information provided is accurate, complete, and up to date. The customer will need to log into their CyberConnect account and update this information if there are any changes. 

Case requests and material submission
A treatment with Device(s) (a “Case”) can only be prescribed via CyberConnect, or paper prescription if an agreement is made between the customer and CD. Paper prescriptions may experience a delay due to the need for manual processing. Before a case begins, CD will notify you by email that the case has been received. CD will then assess the quality of the impressions. Once accepted, CD will start production of case based on the models represented by the records supplied by the customer. 

Manufacturing timeline
All Case(s) will take 10 business days to manufacture from date of submitted materials are accepted. Should further case information be required, you’ll be contacted via CyberConnect.
