What do you do? This patient presents an interesting challenge, this is one of the worst one I've seen yet for lower anterior to palate contact.
This is what I did, and I'm wondering what y'all do.
Just leaving the wire passing through the gap, and attach the tooth and mutual undercut retention to either side. The wires are out of occlusion, and will pose no problem for mastication. This is the only gap and it wasn't even big enough for 18Ga wire, these are 20Ga ball clasps. The clasp wire is just being held with wax till the palatal side is done, then do the tooth side.
Any better ideas?
The models look dreadful because some moron decided to salt n pepper without checking clearance for the lower anteriors aside from the tooth setting labial enough to be out of their path.
Er, hi.
