The articulator is a mechanical tool for imitating jaw movements. The dentist or dental technician installs the plaster models of the upper and lower jaw in the articulator. The aim is to map the patient's correct bite position and to create the denture based on this.

What is the process of articulation?

Articulation is the process by which sounds, syllables, and words are formed when your tongue, jaw, teeth, lips, and palate alter the air stream coming from the vocal folds. When an individual cannot produce or distort an age-expected sound/s, it draws attention away from the speaker's message.

What do articulators do to your voice?
