A bilaterally balanced occlusal scheme for patients with arch width and curvature discrepancies.
A technique is described that will allow the patient maximum tooth contact in bilateral balanced occlusion without compromising esthetics or mechanics for a patient with an underdeveloped retrognathic and normal or oversized maxillae (Figs. 4 and 5). A disadvantage is maintaining the upper posterior teeth in the mold during the boil-out procedure, but this problem may be minimized with careful execution of the laboratory procedures.
