[QUOTE="sirmorty, post: 292288, member: 1022"] I used to do hand waxing back in the day and checked the waxup with the porcelain Tech. I would put my own spin in the anteriors and put anatomy in there. I take it to him and he would say "What the hell is this? make them square so I can adjust them and not have to add to it" I just wasted so much time in his eyes but how was I supposed to learn anything if I just continued to make square looking teeth. I would always look at the finished product then try to mimic what he did. But rarely did he ever say yep that looks good. It never looked like my waxup in the end. I think the same thing kinda happens with design and milling. You get caught up looking at it on a screen then it translates to a physical product and you see things differently. Especially as time passes. You see things you want to change. I don't understand why people think you need to get it right, straight out of the mill? It happens I'm sure but there is nothing wrong with adjustment after. It's the same people who say a crown should take a certain amount of mouse clicks. That's really interesting Luke. Glad you shared that. I know what it feels like to be chasing your tail trying to solve problems. You can't really blame a lab for not wanting to mess with the machines, they are sold ' this push button and forget it" from the Dental companies. I'm glad people like you are out there figuring out the ins and outs of what's capable. [/QUOTE]
