ATLANTA - GeorgiaChron -- The team behind The House of Melz / Melz Grillz is expanding its vision for luxury oral jewelry with the introduction of Icy Ortho™, a new luxury orthodontic appliance concept designed to transform one of dentistry's most familiar appliances—the Hawley retainer—into an expression of personal style.

Positioned as the first luxury orthodontic appliance provider network, Icy Ortho™ combines clinical function with luxury craftsmanship by incorporating precious metals, natural diamonds, gemstones and distinctive design elements into custom Hawley retainers.

The result is a new approach to an appliance traditionally viewed as purely functional: a retainer that can also serve as a personalized statement piece.

"We believe what you wear in your smile can be just as personal as the jewelry you choose to wear anywhere else," said Dr. Melz, Founder of The House of Melz. "Icy Ortho represents the evolution of that idea—bringing together dentistry, design and luxury in a way that allows patients to express themselves without losing sight of clinical function."

From Orthodontic Appliance to Luxury Accessory
Icy Ortho™ will offer six standard Hawley retainer designs, including the Single Pavé Bar, Double Pavé Bar, Name Plate Standard, Name Plate Icy, Baguette Bar, and Round + Baguette Bar. Custom builds will also allow for different colored stones and individualized design preferences.

A New Opportunity for Dental and Orthodontic Practices
Rather than selling Icy Ortho™ directly to consumers, the company is building a professional provider network.

Icy Ortho™ will operate exclusively as a wholesale manufacturer and supplier, providing its products to licensed dental and orthodontic practices through a B2B model. Network access is referral-only, with eligibility geared toward practices that have an existing patient base demonstrating interest in luxury or aesthetic dental appliances.
