A protective carrier for a dental model including a tray portion hinged to a cover portion, a recessed cavity being provided in the tray portion to receive the pedestal part of the dental model. An arcuate rib member is removably coupled onto the tray portion and overhangs the cavity of the tray portion to thereby engage a ledge provided on the dental model to securely retain the dental model within the cavity. A recessed chamber is provided in the cover portion to mate with the cavity in the tray portion to define a closed compartment for the dental model.
