This is going to be full upper and lower immediate. I was taught in school and trained at the bench in the early days to set teeth for the try in in their final position. Then after a few yrs I realized that this doesn’t work. Teeth almost always end up having to be moved around after removing what’s left of the natural teeth and getting it set up for finish. Like in the case in the picture here. Clearly the posterior teeth I set will need to be heavily ground in. They won’t be suitable to set the lower to. So my protocol is this now, well, for the last ten yrs. I sacrifice a card of teeth for the try in. Grind the hell out of em. Just to get a proper bite reg back from doc. Once I get it mounted and go to finalize the set up I throw the old teeth away and start from scratch w new teeth. I use economy teeth on immediates, and I tack a little onto the price for this. Just interested to see if anyone else does it like this.
