The physical wax-up (also known as diagnostic wax-up) assists patients in evaluating treatment options by comparing a printed model to their current smile.
Physical Wax-Ups:
- Provide patients with a precise preview of their expected final outcome
- Serve as a tool to assess tooth shape, smile line, occlusion, and vertical dimension
- A suck-down matrix ($29) for temporaries is added automatically to the Physical Wax-Up
How it is Fabricated
Our physical wax-ups are 3D-printed
Scans Required to Fabricate
To fabricate a physical wax-up for your case, we need full arch scans of the maxillary (upper) and mandibular (lower) arches. These can be done by accessing the Diagnostic Scan feature in Chairside.
