Fox Plane
Free!
Fox Plane is a metal occlusal plane guide for setting maxillary wax rims parallel to facial reference lines. Seat the center blade on the rim and use the side arms to align with the eyes and Camper’s line. Ideal for complete dentures, partials, and full-mouth rehab checks. It is fast, durable, autoclavable, and more reliable than visual guesswork. A simple tool that raises accuracy and saves chairside time.
Description
Fox Plane is a classic occlusal plane guide used during jaw relation and trial try-in. It helps set the maxillary occlusal rim so it is parallel to key facial references. The central blade seats against the anterior wax rim. The two lateral arms extend outward to visually align with the interpupillary line and Camper’s line. The result is an even occlusal plane that supports esthetics, phonetics, and balanced function.
Key features and benefits:
• Rigid metal construction for repeatable readings and long service life
• Lightweight design that is comfortable for the patient during chairside checks
• Smooth, rounded edges that glide over wax rims without gouging
• Broad lateral arms for clear visual alignment with facial landmarks
• Autoclavable surface that cleans quickly between patients
• Simple, no-calibration tool that speeds up jaw relation appointments
Typical uses:
• Establishing the occlusal plane while fabricating complete dentures
• Verifying plane orientation at wax try-in for removable partials and immediate dentures
• Checking cant on provisional restorations during full-mouth rehabilitation
• Teaching occlusal principles in preclinical and clinical training
How it compares:
• Versus eyeballing the rim, a Fox Plane gives consistent, documentable alignment.
• Versus digital facebows or intraoral scanners, it is faster, economical, and ideal for routine cases.
• Ultra-precise leveling tools are unnecessary when the goal is parallelism to facial lines. The Fox Plane provides the practical accuracy most cases require.
Best practice tips:
• Soften and smooth the wax rim before seating the blade.
• Confirm parallelism to both the interpupillary line and Camper’s line.
• Recheck after lip support and midline adjustments.
Choose Fox Plane to standardize occlusal plane orientation, reduce remakes, and improve denture esthetics and comfort.
