ABSTRACT:
An improved orthodontic face bow is disclosed. The face bow includes first and second bow-shaped members. The first bow-shaped member is worn inside the mouth and has means for attachment to the teeth to be displaced distally. The second bow-shaped member is worn extra-orally and has means for attachment to a tension-applying means such as an elastic strap worn around the neck or head. The first and second bow-shaped members have means for removably coupling the two bow-shaped members together. This feature allows the second outer bow-shaped member to be uncoupled from the first bow-shaped member without removing the first inner bow-shaped member from the mouth, thus making the face bow much safer than known face bows of one piece construction.
