Electronic register device for recording movements of the lower jaw of a person relative to the upper jaw of the person, the register device comprising:
- a bite fork for recording a position of the upper jaw relative to reference points on the head of the person, wherein the bite fork is designed to receive a plastic compound for recording an impression of the dentition of the upper jaw,
- a lower-jaw attachment for recording movements of the lower jaw relative to the upper jaw, and
- a reference body,
- wherein the reference body can be connected in a fixed position to the bite fork, wherein the bite fork and the reference body connected to it in a fixed position are designed such that both the impression and the reference body can be recorded by a scanning procedure.
