This was particularly evident in both the occlusal and submento-vertex views, indicating a need for better planning and execution. 3. Inadequate Arch Shape : The arch shape deviated from the ideal U-shape, which could negatively impact the patient's bite and overall function. This aspect requires immediate attention to ensure proper occlusion. 4.
