Figure 4. Reproducible locations of holes on the model base (6 mm in diameter) and the occlusal surfaces (3 mm in diameter and 5 mm in depth) of the first molars. The central mounting hole was used for fixation of the model in the Gabo Qualimeter Eplexor (GQE). The location was determined with one median line through the location of the palatal raphe intersecting with a line through the mesiolingual cusps of the first molars. The molar holes provided room for the stops of two steel ropes that passed through the aligner into the bolting apparatus on the GQE.
