Missing teeth help

Got to do my first grillz for missing teeth.
From what I understand we build the missing teeth back up with wax? My question is then how to I wax up for the grillz without the two waxes binding together? If I’ve made the fake teeth also out of wax?
Struggling to find clear guidelines.

8 top set and he’s missing both incisors, got about a third of his canines left and that’s it. So it will be connected by the front 2 and then the pre molars.

EDIT: Here’s a video of a finished product I’ve seen but I don’t know how they do it.

Can I cast this with stones place?

I’ve been researching for a long time and although more guides on stones in place are around sand casting, you can do it with investment casting. It’s a newer method used for mass production, I just want to make sure the models can do it. From my understanding the stones need to be visible from both sides so the stone mould will hold it in place during the burn out. I’m about to take the plunge just thought I’d check in first. I know it’s not guaranteed to work but that’s the thing with crafting I just wanna give it the best shot I can. I’ve seen people do whole Cuban chains and channel set wedding bands this way.

Also I’ll be using moissanite so it will be fine with the heat.
Thoughts and tips please thanks guys.

About to begin court hearings to get child access arrangements for 15 month old.

Previously the mother stated I used cannabis, she doesn’t know I’ve been prescribed for the last 8 months so when this was mentioned by the worker I said it was medically prescribed for my condition.

I’ve been since asked to provide a gp letter confirming my prescription.

As I know GPs don’t always take the most care in how they list MC on records and the last thing I need is a random GP’s outdated opinion being taken as gospel when both professionals lack knowledge on MC.

Should I skip this and just get the clinic to do it? Could they write the letter for court themselves and could they also write me a letter for the gp separately in terms of listing it on my record in general?

What’s the advice on how I approach this?

Please help, thanks guys.

This is a delicate situation, there’s alot that’s gone on and I don’t truly feel comfortable with another professional I’ve never met having such power over potential outcomes, especially since I’ve heard GPs don’t always frame MC as truly valid.
