ABSTRACT:
An aligning assembly for use in dentistry, particularly in prosthodontics and/or orthodontics includes two plates each of which is to be positioned in the oral cavity of a patient at the upper jaw and to the lower jaw, respectively. One of the plates has a projection which, subsequent to an initial positioning of the plates in the oral cavity, and while the patient moves the lower jaw relative to the upper jaw, provides a centering mark on the other plate. At least the other plate is of an inexpensive, easily deformable material so that, upon removal of the jaw plates from the oral cavity, a recess can be provided in the place of the centering mark on the other plate. When the two plates are repositioned in the oral cavity to be connected to each other to form the assembly, the projection is partially received in the recess and fixes the plates with respect to each other against misalignment while they are being connected. The connection between the plates may be established by providing at least one body of an adhesive which bonds the plates to one another prior to the removal of the connected assembly from the oral cavity of the patient.
