  • These guides include:
    • Guide lines
    • Occlusal plane
    • Lip support
    • Correct jaw relationships

Guide Lines

  • Guide lines help ensure proper tooth position.
  • Specific guide lines include:
    • Smile line: The harmonious curve formed by the incisal edges of the maxillary anterior teeth and the upper lip border.
    • Midline
    • Canine line

Occlusal Plane

  • The occlusal plane should be correctly positioned.
  • Anterior occlusal plane should be parallel to the interpupillary line.
  • Posterior occlusal plane should be parallel to the ala-tragus line.

Lip Support

  • Proper lip support is essential for aesthetic and functional results.

Jaw Relationships

  • Correct jaw relationships are critical for proper function.
