ENGLISH: Instructions for Attaching Facebow Transfer Assembly
3
3. A rubber band may be easily positioned
on the facebow to aid in its manipulation.
(Figure 4a & 4b)
Note: The nasion relator assembly moves
left and right along the crossbar, and the
facebow caliper design allows the arms to
move equal distances during the opening
and closing motions.
If the upright post needs to be replaced,
just snap in place. A replaceable post
does not include the nasion rod.
(Figure 4c)
4. Center the nasion relator assembly on the
crossbar of facebow.
5. Loosen the thumbscrew on top of the
facebow that allows both arms to slide
apart. If using the Whip Mix metal
facebow, you will need to loosen the three
thumbscrews on top of the facebow.
6. Loosen both thumbscrews on the transfer
jig.
Preparing the Facebow Bitefork
1. Make sure the bitefork has been properly
sterilized.
2. Place wax or bite registration material
uniformly over the top surface of the
bitefork.
3. Position the bitefork so that the midline of
the bitefork aligns with the facial midline
and support the fork until the material is
set. (Figure 5)
The record should make a shallow
registration of the maxillary cusp tips, and
not perforate through to the bitefork.
4. Inspect the registration for any soft tissue
or deep occlusal registrations. It is only
necessary to record the maxillary cusp
tips, all else should be trimmed away
using a sharp Bard-Parker blade.
