  2. Incisal guidance
    Incisal guidance is the effect of the contact of the upper and lower anterior teeth on the movement of the mandible. It is usually expressed in degrees of angulation from the horizontal by a line drawn in the sagittal plane between the incisal edges of the upper and lower incisor teeth when closed in centric occlusion. If the incisal guidance is steep, it requires steep cusp, a steep occlusal plane, or a steep compensating curve to affect an occlusal balance.

    Factors affecting the incisal guidance angle.
    1. Vertical overlap (over bite): the vertical overlap is directly proportional with the incisal angle. For complete dentures, the incisal guidance should be as flat as aesthetic and phonetics will permit.

  4. Insurance plans should cover all aspect of health. But dental insurance cannot cover the dental procedures so much. I like dental discount plans NV provided by Dentalsave as these plans also cover vision and hearing aids.
