The bite-plane B may be sheared to shape, and the bite-plate by repeated trials in the mouth be quickly prepared to receive the wax for obtaining the preliminary bite-gauge as shown in Fig. 986. This, when removed from the mouth, will Fig. 986. appear as seen in Fig. 987. When the additional wax for modeling and contour has been supplied, the case will present the appearance illustrated in Fig. 988, the median-line mark shown being a trans- ference from that of the plaster models after the bite had been taken (as described on page 886) and placed on the articulator as in Fig. 987. Fig. 974. Another instance is given in Fig. 989. Here the pattern- plate procedure is the same as above described, the bite-plate being readily fitted so that a piece of the bite-plane B, Fig. 980, shall enter every space that is to be occupied by an artificial tooth or teeth.
