Instructions for Attaching Facebow Transfer Assembly

Facebow Registration

Items needed for a facebow 

registration 

(Figure 1)

1.  Facebow with nasion relator assembly, 

transfer jig, and bitefork

2.  Wax or bite registration material

3.  Rubber band (optional)

Preparing Facebows

1.  Clean and properly disinfect the plastic 

ear pieces before each use. If replacing 
them, make sure the hole on the flat 
side of each is above the side arm, and 
the plastic is seated until it touches the 
shoulder of the arm.

2.  Attach the transfer jig to the facebow 

and tighten thumb screw on top. 
(Figure 2 and 3)

3.  A rubber band may be easily positioned 

on the facebow to aid in its manipulation. 
(Figure 4)

 

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.
