Method for the hinge-axis-related transfer of a jaw model of a patient by means of a jaw adapter to an articulator mounting stand having an articulator hinge axis, the jaw adapter having a bite support for recording a bite pattern, as well as an attachment device connected with the bite support, which device can make a positive connection with an attachment support that can be disposed on the mounting stand in an adjustable, reproducible relative position with regard to the mounting stand hinge axis, and is complementary in shape with the attachment device, the method comprising the following steps: a) arranging the casting compound on a teeth contact surface of the jaw adapter; b) using the casting compound, connecting the jaw adapter to the dental arch of the patient's jaw, thereby producing an impression of the row of teeth in the casting compound; c) registering the jaw joint with determination of the hinge axis; d) attaching the bite support to a jaw model of the patient by means of the tooth impression in the casting compound on the bite support; e) arranging the bite support and jaw model on the mounting stand by connecting the bite support attachment device to the assembly stand attachment support, and aligning the relative spatial position of the mounting stand attachment support in relation to the hinge axis of the mounting stand to the spatial relative position, determined during registration, between the patient hinge axis and the attachment device of the jaw adapter, until agreement is reached between the patient hinge axis and the mounting stand hinge axis; f) fixing the lower jaw model in place on the lower jaw mounting plate of the mounting stand, characterised in that the jaw adapter is a lower jaw adapter, the determination of the spatial position of the patient hinge axis in step c) is carried out relative to the lower jaw adapter, the bite support is a lower jaw bite support that is connected in steps d) and e) to a lower jaw model of the patient; and the agreement of the relative spatial position of the mounting stand attachment support and the mounting stand hinge axis in step e) takes place using the relative position determined during registration between the patient hinge axis and the lower jaw adapter. a) arranging the casting compound on a teeth contact surface of the jaw adapter; b) using the casting compound, connecting the jaw adapter to the dental arch of the patient's jaw, thereby producing an impression of the row of teeth in the casting compound; c) registering the jaw joint with determination of the hinge axis; d) attaching the bite support to a jaw model of the patient by means of the tooth impression in the casting compound on the bite support; e) arranging the bite support and jaw model on the mounting stand by connecting the bite support attachment device to the assembly stand attachment support, and aligning the relative spatial position of the mounting stand attachment support in relation to the hinge axis of the mounting stand to the spatial relative position, determined during registration, between the patient hinge axis and the attachment device of the jaw adapter, until agreement is reached between the patient hinge axis and the mounting stand hinge axis; f) fixing the lower jaw model in place on the lower jaw mounting plate of the mounting stand,
