Can I cut the attachment template in half?

Can I cut the attachment template in half?

No. Cutting the template shifts the positional reference of the anterior attachments, which causes misplacement and tracking failure. This holds even if you cut at a premolar boundary.

If seating is difficult

Use the two material technique, a flowable base with a heavier pack on top, and apply even pressure across the whole template. You can cure in segments if you need to, as long as the template stays intact.
