Alameter

The Alameter is used to establish the width and the appropriate mold selection of the upper six anterior teeth.

It consists of:

Caliper (for measuring the ala-to-ala distance)
Number Scale
Mold Indicating Arrows
Conversion Scales - suggest masculine and feminine (large, medium, small) tooth molds

Instructions For Use

Measure with the tips of the Alameter's Caliper, the widest part of the patient's nose alae-to-ala. This measurement of the nose determines the width of the anterior arch as it was before the teeth were extracted - providing a center-of-cuspid to center-of-cuspid measurement.
Put the measurement indicated on the Measuring Scale on the work authorization for your dental technician.
