    movement, we '11 substitute our always avail- able three=andsashalf=inch measurement * stick. But if we use the old plane^line articulator there 's no danger of getting a bite too far back in its jaws. We '11 then first place the lower model cor- rectly straight in the articulator on the table with the ends of the teeth at least approxi- mately three and a half inches from the cross- bar, and fasten it there. Then press the bite to place onto this lower model carefully; then the upper model into this, its bite=plate. Then bear down firmly on the model, without press- ure on the metal jaw, while we plaster it all together. We '11 next change off our bite^plate for a base=plate, onto which the teeth will set. This basesplate, as shown in the double*set case, should be of the Kerr Perfection, and pressed onto the model as I have before shown. Of course, all base^plates must be secured onto their models before placed into the articu- lator; and absolutely held so during the sticking of teeth there=on=to. This is done with not less than three little patches of hot modeling com- pound of ^4 ^^^^^ width. Next, we '11 set the teeth to the lower model always w ith an eye on the set^screw. AVe '11 jirst give tliem a square one=way come-together, and then follow up with the chewing movements of tlie articvdator lower jaw. And here is the advantage of metal models of the lower teeth over ])laster ones: the metal ones won't wear off by the adjusting, frictional, chewing process, in anatomical adjustment.
