AD2 Anatomic Facebow Anatomic Facebow

Two Biteforks Instead of One

Where most competing facebows have just one bitefork assembly, the AD2 Facebow has two.  This makes it easier when using the Facebow on more than one patient at a time, improving your staff’s efficiency and productivity.  Additionally, each bite fork also has a convenient center line mark for quicker, more accurate setup.

Easier Upper Cast Mounting

The AD2 facebow features a mounting fixture that replaces the incisal guide table of the articulator, making it more convenient to indirectly mount the upper cast.

Handy Third Reference Point

The facebow comes with an orbital pointer for individual use, but also has a convenient nasion relator (made of soft sponge rubber for added comfort) to give you a 22 millimeter standard third reference point measurement when you mount models on an articulator on the axis orbital plane.

Integrated Bubble Levels

The AD2 facebow now comes with two bubble levels built into the facebow arms to measure level positions for both the anterior-posterior as well as transverse planes.  Why pay extra for add-on bubble levels that are clumsy to work with when AD2 integrates them in right from the start?

AD2 Dental Articulator Dental Articulator

Precise. Affordable.

Like other AD2 products, the AD2 articulator is machined from extruded aluminum and uses our long lasting anodized finish (rather than powder coating).  The result is a strong, durable instrument that won’t bubble or peel and is ideally suited for your office or classroom.

More of what you’re looking for…

Lowest Prices

Precision, strength and durability used to translate into “high prices”.  With AD2, we’ve re-defined the meaning of these words.  The AD2 articulator is priced as much as 30-50% below many of our competitors, with precision and design features they can’t match.  Bottom line: better performance at a fraction of the cost.

Industry Standard Design

The arcon concept AD2 articulator is precision machined with an intercondylar distance of 110 millimeters, the industry standard you’re looking for in your next articulator.

Interchangeable Between Instruments

Thanks to the AD2’s high level of precision manufacturing, models mounted on one AD2 articulator can be transferred to another with no loss of accuracy.  That means transferring any patient’s models between offices or labs with a high level of confidence.  No more moving the “original” articulator from one location to another to preserve accuracy.  No more risk of theft or loss of the instrument.

Closer Approximation of Movement Patterns

Using interchangeable analogs (fossa boxes) based on the patient’s side shift and an adjustable angle of eminence, the AD2 articulator can closely approximate each patient’s mandibular movement patterns as the lower teeth cross the upper teeth.  The result: greater accuracy and a better final fit.

Easier Handling

Two incisal guide pins make the doctor’s work so much easier.  The first pin is calibrated in millimeters to record the vertical relationship between the upper and lower frames.  The second supports the top of the articulator when it is opened, so no more worries about awkward handling or loss of calibration when you move the instrument around.

Damage Preventing Shift Activators

Side shift activators secure the top of the articulator against the condyles during movement, reducing the danger that the upper and lower frames might separate and damage your instrument.

Convenient Centric Lock and Latch

The centric lock centers the upper frame to the lower frame, making it easier for the operator to move in and out of the centric slot.  The latch itself utilizes a unique set pin design that not only holds the latch securely open but lasts longer and endures more handling than ordinary latches.

Easier Case Preparation and Presentation

To make it easier to work in and on the AD2 articulator, we specifically designed it for easier viewing and photographing of the lingual areas. In short, it’s a pleasure to work with and a breeze to use.

AD2 Hinge Axis Recorder Hinge Axis Recorder

With the AD2 Hinge Axis Recorder, we’ve made it easier and more cost efficient than other axiograph recorders to capture mandibular movement.  Constructed of anodized aluminum and manufactured in the USA, our Hinge Axis Recorder incorporates the best design ideas from top orthodontists.

AD2 Hinge Axis RecorderFully Adjustable Side Arms

Smooth, thumb screw adjustments are used for both anterior/posterior and vertical movements, and stylus pins and marking pencils are easily installed in seconds with a turn of a screw.  And don’t worry about having to use rubber bands to hold the pencil lead in place…..all AD2 pencil lead holders come spring loaded for your convenience. 

One-Step Clutch Process

Incorporating a great idea from Dr. Ted Freeland,  AD2 uses a polished steel clutch plate that requires no plaster so doctors can make a clutch very efficiently.   Stackable discluders in 2mm thicknesses can be easily added as needed, depending on the patient’s bite.

Lightweight Flag Assembly

AD2 Hinge Axis Recorder
Using Teflon coated, anodized aluminum, we’ve designed a lightweight flag assembly that maximizes patient comfort.  The arms adjust in all directions with a simple thumbscrew, and then neoprene and Velcro straps secure the assembly to the patient’s head.   We never lose sight of the simple conveniences, which is why we’ve used polished stainless steel flag support plates….no need for lubricant anymore to remove the adhesive flags.

AD2 Hinge Axis Recorder

You can always be confident that, with AD2, you’re purchasing a total solution so you can get to work the moment it’s delivered.  Our Hinge Axis Recorder comes complete with everything you need including the mounting stand, full recording system, and even multi-colored pencil leads.  All this comes packaged in a convenient plastic travel case for one low price that will make you wonder why you waited so long.

AD2 MCD II (Measuring Condylar Displacement) MCD (Measures Condyle Displacement)

Quick, Easy 3D Measurements

The MCD lines up on the same axis as the AD2 articulator, allowing the user to measure changes on a 3 dimensional basis (anterior-posterior, vertical and transverse) from CR to CO when you place the models on the MCD with the CO bite.

This gives you critical diagnostic information when one of your basic treatment goals is seated condylar position – centric relation.

More Stable Splint Therapy

The MCD is perfect for following the condylar position change during splint therapy, providing an important indicator that the condylar position has achieved the stability level you desire.

Built In Handling Ease and Convenience

The MCD comes with a handy mounting column to provide protection when not in use, and has side extensions at the incisal pin area for greater stability in the upper frame, making it easier to accurately place graph papers to measure the condylar change.

Lowest Prices

Like other AD2 products, our MCD is affordably priced well below our competitors, with precision and design features they can’t match.  Bottom line: better performance at a fraction of the cost.  You can’t lose.

Mounting Plates and Systems Mounting Plates and Systems

Precision and Convenience

While some manufacturers pay little attention to mounting plates, we realize this is where success starts.  If your mounting plates don’t fit properly, the precision and accuracy of your case work is lost immediately.  That’s why we rigorously test our plate designs long before they ever hit the market to ensure they fit tight, with no rotation or jiggle.  At AD2, we understand that your success determines our success….we’re all in this together.


Mounting Plates for All Popular Articulator Brands

Not all dental professionals are using AD2 instruments yet, but that doesn’t mean we can’t deliver accuracy, precision and big savings to you.  Why pay other manufacturers big bucks for their “proprietary” design plates when AD2 now manufactures plates for most leading articulator brands, including Whip Mix, Hanau, Denar, Panadent, Artex and Stratos?  Manufactured exclusively in the USA, our complete line of mounting plates and systems delivers the precision and big savings you’ve come to know in AD2.
