ABSTRACT:
A comfortable headgear is worn by persons having broken jaws or other facial bones that must be held in place to set. The headgear can also be used in the treatment of bone spurs without the use of surgery. An adjustable headband circles the wearer's head and provides for attachment of intersecting skull straps that crisscross and snugly fit atop the wearer's head. The wearer's chin and lower jaw are engaged by a depending supporting portion that includes downwardly extending temple straps that are adjustably attached and movable along the headband portion and also adjustable in length to thereby provide a completely customized and comfortable fit. The temple straps intersect in a chin pad that has an X-shape with different length portions that may be located in such a fashion to customize the chin pad to the particular wearer and position the temple straps away from the wearer's cheeks to prevent irritation.
