Construction Bite Acquisition: An Analog Technique

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Gordon Bell demonstrates a simple technique for recording a starting position for an oral appliance. The technique involves measuring the bite in horizontal, vertical, and lateral dimensions using a bite gauge. The video explains the different components of the gauge and how to use them. Dr. Bell also discusses the importance of evaluating the patient's dental and skeletal midlines to determine the most desirable lateral position. The video provides step-by-step instructions on how to fit the handle to the lower incisor teeth, place the bite fork in position, and evaluate the bite in all three dimensions.
