Dental bracket placement instrument

A facebow swivel is mounted to the bent distal end of an inner bow of a facebow. The swivel includes a pivot mount and an L-shaped pivot member. The pivot mount includes a pair of short parallel tube segments attached along their outer surfaces. One leg of the L-shaped swivel member is pivotally mounted within one of the tubes. The swivel is mounted to the bent distal end of the inner bow by inserting the distal end into the other tube. The swivel is then secured to the distal end, such as by crimping the tube onto the distal end.

Facebow swivel

A base plate mountable in a dental articulator, having a groove forming a closed curve therein. The groove defines a base plate of a smaller size, such that the larger base plate, containing the groove, may be fractured along the groove and a smaller base plate may be used in lieu of the larger one.
