It is an object to provide an articulator with which upper and lower jaw models can easily be manufactured, corrected and adjusted so that precise upper and lower jaw models are manufactured, the structure is simplified and operability is improved. An upper jaw model mount, on which an upper jaw model is mounted, is combined with an upper jaw model joining member such that adjustments in the right and left directions can be performed. The upper jaw model joining member is combined with a stand through a slide support mechanism such that right- and left-hand heights can independently be adjusted. A lower jaw model joining member is combined with the stand through a slide guide mechanism such that fore-and-aft directional adjustment can be performed. A lower jaw model mount, having a lower jaw model joining member on which a lower jaw model is mounted, and an incisal table are combined with each other. An incisal pin is combined with the upper jaw model joining member such that a rotational direction and the height can be adjusted. Since adjustment in each direction can independently be performed in each portion, the shape of the jaws of a patient can precisely and easily be reproduced.
