• providing a generic three-dimensional computer model of an occlusion device;
• generating first impressions of dental crown upper sides of the first artificial teeth in a first side of the three-dimensional computer model of the occlusion device in which the dental crowns of the first artificial teeth can be positioned for arrangement and alignment;
• producing the occlusion device, using the three-dimensional computer model of the occlusion device including the first impressions of the dental crown upper sides of the first artificial teeth;
• providing a generic three-dimensional computer model of a first support device for supporting a first prosthetic body of the first dental prosthesis comprising the first artificial gingiva, comprising one or more first support elements, which are arranged on a first side of the first support device, wherein the one or more first support elements arranged at the first support device in each case comprise a support surface, which is intended to make contact in each case with a contact surface of an underside of the first prosthetic body located opposite the first artificial gingiva;
• adapting shapes of support surfaces so that the shapes in each case represent a negative imprint of the shape of the particular contact surface;
• producing the first support device, using the three-dimensional computer model of the first support device including adapted support surfaces;
• providing a three-dimensional computer model of a generic clamping element, which is configured to apply pressure onto a second side of the occlusion device facing away from the first side of the occlusion device, and onto a second side of the first support device facing away from the first side of the first support device, for fixing the first artificial teeth, which are arranged and aligned by means of the occlusion device, in the first artificial gingiva of the first prosthetic body that is supported by means of the first support device, the clamping element comprising one or more elastic arcs;
• determining a spring constant for the one or more arcs with which a predefined pressure is applied onto the occlusion device and the first support device when the first dental prosthesis is arranged between the occlusion device and the first support device;
• adapting the material thickness of the one or more arcs of the three-dimensional computer model so that one or more arcs have the determined spring constant;
• and
• producing the clamping element, using the three-dimensional computer model of the one or more arcs having the adapted material thickness.
