3. Rotate the model until it has a good buccal/lingual alignment.
You should be able to see the occlusal tables clearly and the same
amount of data on the buccal and lingual sides of the adjacent teeth. The
central grooves need not to be aligned.
The distal or mesial view is good for mesial/distal and occlusal/gingival
adjustments.
1. Click the Distal arrow in View Controls.
The distal view is sometimes obscured by high distal data. Tilt the model
up or down to see the cusps of the adjacent teeth.
2. Evaluate the cusp heights of the adjacent teeth. Align your cusps and
axial walls according to the Curve of Spee.
