Bite wax is an essential dental material used for recording a patient’s bite, ensuring accurate occlusion and proper alignment in restorative and orthodontic procedures. Soft and pliable when warmed, it allows for easy manipulation and precise impressions of the teeth and jaw relationship. This type of wax is commonly used in prosthodontics, orthodontics, and diagnostic procedures to help dental professionals assess bite discrepancies and make necessary adjustments. It provides a reliable medium for capturing occlusal records, making it invaluable for creating well-fitting dentures, crowns, and orthodontic appliances. Bite wax comes in sheets or pre-formed shapes and can be softened by hand or with gentle heating for effortless application. Designed to provide accuracy without excessive brittleness, it ensures clear and precise bite registration.
