What is the "wax try in" when getting a denture?

The try-in is: An excellent intermediate step in denture fabrication where the denture teeth are set in a pink wax/plastic base prior to being finished. Dentists who use this step are checking the denture for proper occlusion, speech, cosmetics, and many other technical issues. And, the patient gets to see the teeth prior to the finished product for approval. Corrections can easily be made as needed.

Dentures: The wax try in is to check the setup of the teeth before the denture is finished. The dentist will have a acrylic denture base with the teeth positioned in pink wax that he will try in . Do not be concerned with the fit on the tissue this is just a try in for tooth position.

A preview: This is an appointment during which you will see how the preliminary tooth arrangement looks. Because the teeth are set in wax only, changes can easily be made (often while you wait there ) based on your preferences and the latitude allowed by your mouth and jaw position. The dentist can assess the position of the teeth , the jaw position and alignment with the jaw in multiple positions.

See how they look: Prosthodontists, after making impressions and measurements of your bite, routinely "try in" your new teeth, in wax, to make sure all the measurements are accurate and the teeth look like you would like, giving you the opportunity to approve them before they are finished.

Tooth set up: This is the step before you receive the final denture. The denture teeth are set in wax and are tried in to make sure you are satisfied with the shape, color and position of the teeth and the dentist is satisfied with the fit of he teeth with the teeth in the opposing jaw.

Dress Rehersal: A wax 'try-in' is used when getting a denture becasue it allow the dentist and you to get a view of the teeth, their position, size, shape, color, and general bite. It's essentially like a dress rehersal. If there are things you or your doctor don't like about the teeth in way, we are simply able to change them. This way, you will have no surprises about what your denture will look like!

Preview: A well-made denture usually requires to preview the end result and verify detail before the final processing. This preview is for checking esthetic, function, occlusion and get final consent from pt before denture fabrication.
