ABSTRACT:
An orthodontic appliance to aid in the correction of certain types of malocclusions applies a force within a patient's mouth that urges one jaw of a patient having an overbite or underbit condition relative to the other jaw generally along his or her normal growth axis. The appliance is constructed so that it is stretchable and has a degree of flexibility, and includes end attachment means which enables it to turn or swivel adjacent its anchor points on the upper and lower jaws of the patient. Thus, a patient can wear a pair of appliances with a minimum of discomfort while retaining the ability to talk, chew food and perform normal oral hygiene procedures such as tooth brushing when necessary.
