[0036] In this embodiment, the side stick includes a short end stick 17 and a long end stick 18. The short end stick 17 is fixed to the lower left side of the horizontal ruler 11, on the same side as the left arm 15. The long end stick 18 is fixed to the lower right side of the horizontal ruler 11, on the same side as the right arm 16. The distance from the corner of the eye to the corner of the mouth is measured by the short end stick 17, and the inner or outer diameter of the object is measured by the long end stick 18.
[0037] In this embodiment, the surfaces of both the measuring ruler slider component A2 and the measuring ruler slider component B3 are provided with connecting holes 21 that are adapted to the slider mounting screws 6. The three connecting holes 21 are arranged in a triangle. The inner side of the measuring ruler slider component B3 is provided with a protrusion 31, and one of the connecting holes 21 is provided on the protrusion 31. The upper end of the measuring ruler slider component M4 is provided with two connecting parts 42, and the surfaces of the two connecting parts 42 are provided with connecting holes 21.
[0038] In this embodiment, the slider assembly screw 6 is threadedly engaged with both the measuring ruler slider component A2 and the measuring ruler slider component B3 through the connecting hole 21 located at the upper end. The slider assembly screw 6 is also threadedly engaged with the measuring ruler slider component A2, the measuring ruler slider component B3, and the measuring ruler slider component M4 through the other two connecting holes 21.
[0039] Specifically, measuring ruler slider component M4 is clamped by measuring ruler slider component A2 and measuring ruler slider component B3, and the three slider components are connected by slider assembly screws 6. Measuring ruler slider component A2 and measuring ruler slider component B3 are connected through the upper connecting hole 21, and the two connecting holes 21 below measuring ruler slider component A2 and measuring ruler slider component B3 are connected to the connecting hole 21 of the upper connecting part 42 of measuring ruler slider component M4 to assemble the slider.
[0040] In this embodiment, the surface of the level ruler 11 is provided with a groove that matches the protrusion 31. The measuring ruler slider is slidably connected to the level ruler 11 through the groove and the protrusion 31. The measuring ruler slider can move and adjust within the groove of the level ruler 11 through the protrusion 31.
[0041] In this embodiment, a movable handle 41 is fixed to the lower end of the measuring ruler slider component M4. The movement of the measuring ruler slider is controlled by the movable handle 41. The slider locking screw 5 is located on the inner side of the upper end of the measuring ruler slider component M4 and passes through the horizontal ruler 11.

The position of the measuring ruler slider component on the horizontal ruler 11 is fixed by rotating the measuring ruler locking screw.
[0042] In this embodiment, the surfaces of the level 11, the Y-shaped fork, and the side arm are provided with scales, and measurement readings are made through the scales.
[0043] Specifically, when measuring the width of the dental arch, the size of the prefabricated tray is selected based on the arch width. The size of the Yixin dental tray is determined by aligning the single line on the left fork 12 with the center of the patient's right posterior tooth pad and the right fork 13 with the center of the patient's left posterior tooth pad. The Yixin dental tray is a new type of prefabricated tray designed for denture fabrication and comes in five models. During denture fabrication, a suitable tray size needs to be selected based on the length or width of the user's upper and lower jaws. The corresponding markings and numbers on the right fork 13 of the Y-shaped fork located in the center of the horizontal ruler 11 help select the Yixin dental tray based on the dental arch width.
[0044] The length of the dental arch is used to measure the length of the dental arch and to help select the size of the prefabricated tray. The edges of the Y-shaped fork (left fork 12 and right fork 13) are in contact with the posterior tooth pad, and the middle part 14 of the fork is in contact with the teeth. The position where the edge of the upper incisor or the edge of the lower incisor contacts the area of the middle part 14 of the fork is the length of the dental arch. If the patient has no teeth, the position where the circle on the middle part 14 of the fork contacts the incisor papilla can be used as a reference for the length of the dental arch.
[0045] The standard scale on the side arms (left arm 15 and right arm 16) is a measuring scale that replaces the function of a ruler and can be used to measure the size of teeth, the size of spaces with missing teeth in the mouth, or on the model or the tray mentioned above.
[0046] The plate composed of the Y-shaped fork (left fork 12, right fork 13 and fork middle 14), side arms (left arm 15 and right arm 16) and horizontal ruler 11 used to determine the occlusal plane is similar to the Fox occlusal plane measuring ruler and can help determine the occlusal plane.
[0047] In determining the vertical occlusal distance, the horizontal ruler 11, the movable handle 41, and the short-end stick 17 can be used to measure the distance from the corner of the eye to the corner of the mouth. This distance is equivalent to the distance from the base of the nose to the base of the chin when the user is in the correct neuter position and vertical occlusal distance. It can help determine the occlusal height during oral restoration.
[0048] The level 11, the movable handle 41, and the long-end rod 18 are used to measure the inner or outer diameter of an object, as well as the size of teeth or spaces with missing teeth in the mouth, on a model, or on the aforementioned tray.
