Whip Mix QuickMount Facebow and Magnetic Mounting System Explained

The Whip Mix QuickMount system is a set of facebow transfer and magnetic mounting components that let you record the maxillary relationship once and mount casts quickly and repeatably on Whip Mix, Hanau and Denar articulators. It pairs an indirect mounting facebow and transfer assembly with magnetic transfer bases, plate holders and converter plates. Chase Dental Supply carries the full Whip Mix QuickMount lineup, from the facebow itself to replacement fork supports and remounting jigs.

• The QuickMount Magnetic Transfer Base Assembly 9176QA attaches the transfer assembly to Whip Mix articulators during indirect magnetic mounting.
• The QuickMount Facebow 9174 Fork Support secures the transfer base and supports the maxillary cast.
• Magnetic converter plates add magnetic retention without adding steps, and work with all Whip Mix articulators.

What is the Whip Mix QuickMount facebow system?

A facebow is an instrument that records the position of the maxillary arch relative to the patient’s hinge axis so the upper cast can be mounted on the articulator in the same relationship. QuickMount is Whip Mix’s name for the facebow transfer and magnetic mounting components that carry that record from the patient to the articulator.

The Whip Mix Indirect Mounting Facebow (#9185) is built for Whip Mix 2000, 3000 and 4000 Series articulators. It works with the Whip Mix Transfer Assembly #9188, which holds the bitefork record and carries it to the articulator for indirect mounting.

Indirect mounting means the transfer assembly is removed from the facebow and mounted on the articulator by itself. The facebow is then free for the next patient, and the lab or assistant can mount the case later without the patient present.

How does the QuickMount magnetic mounting system work?

Magnetic mounting replaces threaded mounting screws with a magnet, so the mounted cast and its plate snap onto the articulator and lift off without tools. That makes it faster to move a case between the bench, the articulator and the patient.

Step 1: Record the facebow and bite

Record the maxillary arch on the bitefork and capture the facebow per the Whip Mix instructions for use. Lock the transfer assembly and remove it from the bow.

Step 2: Attach the transfer to the articulator

The QuickMount Magnetic System Transfer Base Assembly 9176QA attaches the transfer assembly to Whip Mix articulators during indirect magnetic mounting. The QuickMount Facebow 9174 Fork Support is required to secure that transfer base to the articulator and supports the maxillary cast.

For non-magnetic setups, the QuickMount Transfer Base Assembly #9176A attaches the transfer assembly to the lower frame of Whip Mix articulators. An adjustable Whip Mix Maxillary Cast Support supports the bitefork and maxillary cast with both magnetic and traditional plates.

Step 3: Mount the cast on a magnetic plate

Set the maxillary cast on the bitefork, attach it to a magnetic mounting plate with mounting stone, and allow it to set. A fast setting stone such as Whip Mix Snap-Stone, covered in our Whip Mix Snap-Stone guide, shortens that wait.

Which QuickMount parts fit my articulator?

Fit depends on the articulator brand and whether the part goes on the upper or lower member. Whip Mix publishes fit for each plate holder, so check the member before ordering.

If you are converting an existing instrument, Whip Mix Converter Plates add magnetic retention without adding steps to the process, so casts mount in one quick step. Newer models such as the Whip Mix Model 2240Q include the magnetic mounting system and the Accumount system for interchanging mounted casts between articulators.

How do you remount finished dentures without a second facebow?

Use a remounting jig. It holds the original facebow position so processed dentures can be returned to the articulator for occlusal refinement without a new facebow record.

The Whip Mix QuickMount Remounting Jig temporarily replaces the mandibular cast and its mounting plate. It is made of anodized aluminum, is designed for magnetic articulators, and eliminates the need for a second facebow recording and transfer when remounting finished dentures.

This step is especially useful in denture labs where the case is flasked and processed between try-in and delivery. For the stone side of flasking and mounting, see our guide to flasking stone vs mounting stone.
