Dentist Office - Appointment #3
Mark the mid-line & high-smile line
Mark the Mid-line and High Smile Line Recording: Use the Aesthetic Control Base to mark the midline and high smile line. • If you need to adjust the labial portion to increase or decrease lip support, heat the wax-up with warm running water. • Utilize a hot plate to melt the wax on the incisal edge, to remove excess wax if needed. If you are adjusting the incisal edge, utilize an occlusal casting jaw fox plane plate, to ensure it isn't canted.
