Abstract
A support plate assembly (10) for teeth which includes a plate-like body (12) with external dimensions that may be strung together, and a substantially flat, quadrilateral wax receiving portion (22) for the acceptance of an adhesive wax or the equivalent into which a plurality of teeth may be pressed, one next to the other. The wax receiving portion (22) is delimited by convex, forward-thrusting arched upper and lower ridges (14, 16), and lateral ridges. A flat strip of wax is held in the wax receiving portion such that the wax receiving portion has a greater depth at the center area intended for premolar than at the lateral areas intended for molars.
