orthodontic wax rim training typodont
Typodont training is an essential part of an orthodontic residency program, allowing trainees to practice various procedures before working on real patients.
The orthodontic typodont with the wax rim pattern replicates the dental arches.
The trainee can use a hair dryer to soften the wax and mold it onto the model teeth to create the desired malocclusion.
The waxed rim assists in tooth set-up and detection of malocclusion, allowing students to practice correcting the malocclusion using different orthodontic tools and techniques.
The orthodontic models are available for both arches in a customized pattern.
