A method of measuring patient-specific temporomandibular joint relation and transferring it into a virtual articulator, the method comprising: a step of inserting an impression means such as a bite fork, an impression tray or a dual-arch impression tray into the mouth of the patient and fixing on the upper jaw; a step of fixing a face bow on the patient's head and aligning according to a predefined cranial reference plane; a step of fixing of a transfer linkage including at least a first form-fitting component fixed at its lower end, to the face bow; a step of leaving an impression of the first form-fitting component with the help of silicone impression material or the like on a grip of the impression means; a step of removing the face bow, the transfer linkage and the impression means from the patient; and a step of separating the first form-fitting component from the impression in the impression means; characterized by further comprising: a step of creating digital 3D models of the upper jaw and the lower jaw of the patient; a step of detecting by using a surface scanner, the surface of the impression means including at least part of the upper jaw impression and the surface of the impression left by the first form-fitting component optionally with/without a scanbody inserted therein, thereby creating a model of the impression means; a step of correlating the upper jaw model with the model of the impression means, wherein this step is dispensed with when using an impression tray; a step of determining the transformation between the upper jaw model and the face bow based on the model of the impression means and a transformation between the first form-fitting components and the face bow; a step of transferring of the upper jaw model into the virtual articulator using the determined transformation; a step of determining the relation of the upper jaw model to the lower jaw model, wherein this step is dispensed with when using a dual-arch impression tray; a step of transferring the lower jaw model into the virtual articulator according to the determined relation between upper jaw model and lower jaw model. a step of inserting an impression means such as a bite fork, an impression tray or a dual-arch impression tray into the mouth of the patient and fixing on the upper jaw;
