when do you complete gothic arch tracer
same appointment as anterior try in
how do you measure width of anterior teeth
with flexible ruler, distal of canine to distal of canine
what tool can be used to select anterior teeth
Trubyte tooth selector
what shapes are ivoclar anterior teeth categorized as
square, tapering, and ovoid shapes
describe square tooth molds
- central incisor: dominant
- gingivo-incisal curve: moderate
- shape offers maximum light deflection and creates bold effect
describe tapering tooth molds
- rounded contour
- taper towards cervical ridge
- gingivo-incisal curvature: moderate
- large triangular incisor slightly triangular in shape
describe ovoid tooth molds
- gingivo-incisal curvature: pronounced
disperse light reflection to create softened appearance

what is the personality tooth?
maxillary lateral incisors (vary more in size, form, and position than any other tooth)
different in teeth based on age (young vs old)
Young-tapered, ovoid, rounded teeth
Older-square, sharp corners
describe delicate characteristics
~Rounded arch form
~Rounded corners
~Anteriors closely follow the lower lip
~Laterals overlap centrals
~Smaller laterals and cuspids
~Sharp Canines
describe rugged characteristics
~ Angular outlines
~Larger laterals and canines
~Square arch form
~Centrals overlap laterals
~Blunt canines
should teeth gradually lower OR rise along the occlusal plane? why?
