Mock-up stents made from the approved wax-up, so patients can try the new smile in the mouth with temporary material. By Swift Lab, UAE.
About Stent for Wax Up
A stent for wax-up, or mock-up matrix, is made from the approved wax-up or digital design. You fill it with temporary material and place it over the unprepared teeth, so the patient can see and feel the new smile directly in the mouth.
The mock-up is one of the most effective ways to confirm aesthetics and phonetics before preparation, and it can also guide minimally invasive preparation through the mock-up.
