Product Description

he Artex facebow is a parallel-opening bow made
of anodised aluminium. The parallel opening of the
facebow is used to insert the facebow via the
porus buttons into the patient's ear canal. This
serves the supporting and holding via the
patient's skull.
Frontally, the facebow is supported on the skull
via an adjustable rod in the nasian bar with a
nasian adapter. The facebow is thus fixed to the
patient's skull by a three-point support (2 porus
buttons and a nasion adapter). A bite fork is
applied to the upper jaw tooth row registering
mass. Bite fork and facebow are connected via a
3D joint (joint support). The 3D joint is fixated. The
spatial position relationship obtained by bite fork
to facebow is used for mounting the patient's
upper jaw model in the articulator in the correct
position for the patient.
Support bracket [5] can be used on the left
or right. If the axis pins are screwed in, the
facebow can be placed on the main axis
and fitted to the articulator axis directly.
