Creating Effective Dental Devices

Dentists must often design appliances such as retainers, night guards, or dentures. Perceptual ability helps you:

• Imagine how an appliance will fit and function in the mouth.
• Adjust designs for comfort and effectiveness.
• Communicate specifications to dental labs for fabrication.

Day-to-Day Impact

Good spatial skills mean fewer adjustments, happier patients, and appliances that work as intended.
