Claims5
An alignment cap for mounting artificial teeth on a submaxillary working model comprising:
- (a) a cap body in the configuration of the retromandibular triangle of the working model and having a proper arch and including a backside;
- (b) the cap body being formed of transparent material for permitting viewing therethrough of teeth mounted on the working model;
- (c) anchoring means directly attachable to the lateral and back sides of the working model for defining an axis of rotation lying against the retromandibular triangle of the working model;
- and
- (d) means for connecting the backside of the cap body to the anchoring means for permitting the cap body to pivot about the axis of rotation, but not be displaceable in its axial direction, with respect to the working model.
