Axis orbital plane

The horizontal imaginary line or plane determined by the transverse horizontal axis of the mandible as it correlates with the palpated lowermost point found at the inferior margin of either the left or right bony orbit (orbitale). This plane is used as a horizontal orientation point to position teeth and/or dental implants in the ideal horizontal position in relation to the temporomandibular joint and face.
