ABSTRACT:
An appliance for the three-dimensional adjustment of the maxillary cast is mounted by means of a screw on an articulated part. The appliance includes a first measuring element whose tip cooperates with a first reference point on a central incisor of the maxillary cast. The appliance includes also a second and a third measuring element whose tips correspond each with a further reference point on a first molar of the maxillary cast. Each of these measuring elements can be adjusted separately and three-dimensionally to the desired position by the special design of the appliance.
