A literature review of the selection of the maxillary anterior teeth is presented. Although several different qualitative guidelines are cited, the best method for the selection of the maxillary anterior teeth is the use of pre‐extraction records or old photographs. Numerous qualitative and quantitative guidelines are cited in the literature for the proper placement of the maxillary anterior teeth. Through careful and proper construction of the maxillary wax occlusal rim, these factors may be recorded and relayed to the dental laboratory technician.
