You have to work less hard because all you got to do is make sure there's good posterior guides. And all that work you do not the front of the mouth. As long as you don't get too much of a clash there, okay? Then life becomes much, much more simple and you can, canine guidance isn't a bad thing. But it's not essential to a healthy functional bite. Okay?... Jaz's Introduction: Hey, guys, and welcome to Episode 32. This is posterior guided occlusion part two, with Dr. Andy Toy. I know I left you on a massive, massive cliffhanger last time.

And I think with more experience, you realize the importance of it as you go on. And if anyone's doing orthodontics, you're probably used to taking portrait photos anyway.
