[QUOTE="Car 54, post: 173961, member: 85"] Some cut up the metal coat hangers into about 2-3" lengths, and sticky wax to the bases works nice, too (Dawson Technique). You can even bend a couple to bypass any anterior overjet. The swallowing pulls the elevator muscles up into occlusion, nice tip, Doris :) It's also nice if the Dr can have the patient sitting upright, instead of laying back in the chair, to make sure the patient bites without sliding into occlusion (i.e. a more accurate bite). The below was previously hot glue gunned on the teeth for a scan, but I just used it for reference sake to show you the coat hanger (Popsicle sticks) idea Doris mentioned. Put a dab of glue on the upper and lower casts about where the coat hanger ends will be, and seat it in the glue, then after it sets for 5-10 seconds, glue on top of it to strengthen that bond. Once the surface is wet, the glue comes off easily (it's just a hobby type of glue gun and and sticks you can pretty much get anywhere). Also, if I can, I just use the part of the bite on the preps, and cut it there. Trim it down to its occlusal table, you want to see the bite is closed, so trim off the excess (Blue Mousse is Bard Parker carvable). If the bite doesn't show "burn through" consistently on the non prep side, and you're having a hard time establishing a bite, if you can (a local account),send it back to the Dr. to have him wax (glue gun) it together.
