Disclosed is an articulator for completely reproducing mandibular movement of a living subject by performing adjustment of occlusion by regulating condylar spheres and condyle boxes disposed between maxillar and mandibular frames carrying maxillar and maxillar casts with a Bennett lift mechanism. The Bennett lift mechanism is mounted independently of the condyle boxes and on a base axis connecting the condylar spheres independently of the condyle boxes, so that vertical regulation of movements of a mandible in vertical, lateral and anteroposterior directions can be individually reproduced. Also, opening and closing movement of the maxillar and mandibular casts around the base axis (intercondylar axis) can be performed in an centric occlusion position.
