    Abstract: A mandible alignment system for aligning a model of a mandible relative to an axis of rotation to substantially replicate the orientation of the mandible relative to an axis of rotation. The mandible alignment system may include aligning an axis formed between a point on a first retro molar pad of a model of a mandible with a point on a second retro molar pad of the model with an axis of rotation of a device. The axis formed between the retro molar pads of the mandible may be oriented to be parallel, or substantially parallel, to the axis of rotation of the device along the Z-axis and the X-axis. The mandible alignment system also includes numerous devices for facilitating alignment of the model of the mandible with the axis of rotation of the device.
