4. Taking a more precise mold [Creating a model through the maxillomandibular simultaneous impression method]

At last we take a precise mold of the upper and lower jaw at the same time (maxillomandibular simultaneous impression method).

We do not use the same technique that was used to measure your bite when you had your last dentures made. We record the original positioning of your natural teeth before you lost them.

Conventional molds are taken using the pressure exerted by the dentist's hands. This makes it very difficult to accurately replicate the normal movements of your mouth. Our clinic's 'maxillomandibular simultaneous impression method' creates a mold that is based on your own muscle pressure. This allows us to record data from your jaw in a very favorable state. For example, we will have you swallow your saliva in the same way you would when eating food naturally.
It is very important that we are able to record information in this state.

 Taking a more precise moldFirst we determine the height of the upper and lower teeth. Then we determine the position of the upper and lower jaw.

It takes about 5 minutes for the mold to harden, so we have you breathe slowly through your nose during this time. We collect very valuable information in the meantime.

 Taking a more precise moldWe also use this time to have you select your artificial teeth. Artificial teeth used in full dentures made through the maxillomandibular simultaneous impression method use a functionally and esthetically superior design by Dr. Strack. We discuss with the patient and take into consideration things like skin color and face outline when choosing the teeth.

After we have measured precisely the state of the upper and lower jaw and have placed it in the actuator, we then line up the selected artificial teeth. We form the gums with wax.

The human jaw is extremely precise and a discrepancy of just a few millimeters can be felt. Because of this, we place the mold into a device that mimics the movements of the jaw (an actuator) in order to make sure that there is no awkward feeling in the mouth.
