You are looking for being on good section (Inf/Sup) and good height (Ant/Post).
Sometimes these will equal each other by having on one side Inf and in the other Sup.]]> 2018-12-27 22:23:04 UTC https://padlet.com/b3043423/gyoonjgg7du1/wish/316762653 "Good for lateral" b3043423 https://padlet.com/b3043423/gyoonjgg7du1/wish/316762654 The first thing you need to secure in the anterior mark with the sagittal laser.
