Facebow cross reference
Facebow cross reference by company
We have attempted to compile a facebow cross reference tool for the major orthodontic manufacturers. There are cross reference tables for innerbow sizes and outerbow sizes. Please use this tool to compare facebows from different manufacturers and their unique nomenclature.
