Greater Curve Technique - Home Page

The Greater Curve technique allows for restoration of teeth in a neutral position and eliminates the need for wedging.

By using the Greater Curve Technique, you are able to:

• Ensure tight contacts with width and depth
• Easily restore teeth with wide interproximal embrasures
• Fabricate anterior restorations with rounded emergence contours
• Simplify your hardware (retainer and band is all that is needed)
• Easily maintain moisture control

Most interproximal composite techniques force teeth apart with a wedge and separating spring combination. This can present problems: 

• Inconsistent contacts
• Contacts lacking depth
• Simply not enough room for hardware 
• Difficult to maintain moisture control
