Photographs of the patient smiling with the shaped wax rims in situ – send to the technician

Photographs of the patient smiling and at rest with the shaped wax rims in place are extremely helpful for the technician. I take the following 10 photographs with the patient smiling and at rest:

1.     The right and left profile

2.     The right and left three quarter view

3.     Portrait view

Along with dentate photographs of the patient, if these are available, the above photographs are of great assistance for setting the teeth. Corrections to the prescribed tooth positions of the wax rim can be made by the dental technician with reference to these photographs, adding another check in the system.
