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.

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.
