They play a key role in helping your technician select appropriate tooth size and shape, establish the correct incisal edge position, and determine esthetic gingival contours for the final denture.

Narrow maxillary arch is a common clinical issue in orthodontics. It not only causes crowding, impacted canines, and posterior crossbite, but also affects facial development, occlusal function, and may even lead to mouth breathing and airway problems.

Bruxism refers to the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth. If left unaddressed, this parafunctional habit can lead to significant harm to a person's teeth, gums, and jaw joints.

With continuous progress in restorative materials and manufacturing technology, electroplating and electrodeposition have become widely used in denture fabrication. These methods play an important role in digital dentistry, significantly improving the quality and performance of fixed prostheses, removable partial dentures and implant-supported restorations.
