lets try this again !
John boy zapped the first post, he must of had a”moment of madness -lololol. I finally have gotten a simple way to use the golden proportion with the white wax ups & building the porcelain. I made a chart I have named the called the Harmonic Smile chart. This chart has all of the facial measurements relative to our teeth . You can quickly select the best Guide Plane plate by having any one of 5 facial measurements . the averaged width of the centrals, or the length (this one usually wouldn’t work because of wear) , the mid-line to cuspid , bicuspid buccal cusp tip, the corner of the smile or the inter ocular measurement which is the measurement from the inner corner of the eye across the bridge of the nose to the inside corner of the other eye I have found that the I/O distance is the same as the laterals dital to distal. the width of the bridge of the nose matches the distal to distal of the centrals . The pupillary distance equals the width of the smile if the patient is Golden proportion or near golden proportion. you can check these things on a photo graph by drawing vertical lines . If you want to know where the patient smile ends , multiple the mid-line to cuspid by .618 add these two numbers together and you have the width of the smile. neat huh ! MORE LATER.
