ENGLISH: Instructions for Attaching Facebow Transfer Assembly

8. Support the horizontal bar with one
hand and tighten the thumbscrew on the
horizontal rod. (Figure 10)
9. Verify the facebow is level and all
thumbscrews are tight.
10. Remove the facebow from the patient in a
similar manner. Loosen the thumbscrew
and slide the nasion relator away from the
patient’s nose.
11. With the patient’s help, loosen the center
thumbscrew and remove the facebow
from the patient’s ears.
12. Together, remove the facebow and
bitefork from patient.
Note: The transfer jig and biteforks for
all Whip Mix facebows (except those with
quick lock toggle) have been updated
as of January, 2017. If your system was
purchased before that date, the bitefork
will have a straight, center shaft and the
transfer jig horizontal bar will extend to the
right. (Figure 11)
For these earlier systems, and when
using indirect mounting of the maxillary
model, the incisal guide pin will need to be
removed and a support bar will be needed
at the top of the transfer jig. (Figure 12)
