After taking an initial impression and final cast, Dr. Mobasser recommends a WAX UP to be done on the initial duplicate models by the master ceramist. The Doctor needs to go to the lab and shape the model as if he would shape the teeth on the initial visit.
After that, he provides it to his master ceramist for the final design. In this phase, the patient, the Doctor, and the ceramist have a collaborative discussion. This allows the patient to preview the results regarding the shape, height, width, relationship, and each tooth’s angulation.
This method is better than before and after simulations because the Doctor and the ceramist now have to deal with the bite and function of the teeth in the wax-up. On our before and after simulation, the bite and function are unknown. Because of this, the picture can be deceiving since the bite and function is unknown.
There is an extra charge for this process. However, it is well worth it to allow you to get a “sneak peek” at the expected results.
