Unless otherwise specified, Series 5 facebows are shipped with adjustable loops bent occlusally. For loops bent gingivally, indicate “special” when ordering and specify “adjustable loops bent gingivally.”
Outer Bows • Right outer loop is larger for ease or orientation • Outer loops are bent outward (standard) or upward (on request) • Outer bow facially is contoured for increased strength Inner Bows • Inner arch length is measured from distal side of loop to distal side of opposite loop on the inside of the inner bow • Inner arch has narrow radius so adjustments are outward • Preformed inner loops serve as adjustable stops as well as shock absorbers and are angulated for gingival clearance
