STEP 2

Registration of maxillary relation 

using Face Bow

A.  USING PRO ARCH FACE BOW

Insert Earpieces into each external 

auditory meatus to obtain a 

posterior reference point.
To get an anterior reference 

point, align the tip of the anterior 

reference pin to point 23mm below 

the inner canthus or 45mm above 

the maxillary incisal edge.  This 

enables transfer of natural head 

posture to the articulator.
