1st marker: placed on the embrasure of buccal alveolar crest.
2nd marker: placed on embrasure of lingual alveolar crest, perpendicular to the first marker.
3rd marker: placed on to the most apical region of buccal alveolar crest in the same direction with the first marker.
4th marker: placed on the adjacent tooth’s embrasure of buccal alveolar crest, next to the first marker.
