Abstract
The combination of 2 three point articulators was done to visualize and appreciate the various teeth setting principles and anatomical landmarks both in occlusion and out of occlusion. In other words this technique would give a simultaneous image of the various teeth arrangement principles at a glance. The various teeth arrangement principles highlighted in this article would be the following: individual tooth arrangement principles of anterior and posterior teeth, arch form, midline, incisive papilla, retromolar pad, overjet and overbite.
