ABSTRACT:
The invention has an anchor member mounted around and on one or more teeth on each jaw, which are adjustably and removably mounted thereon by retainer members. The retainer members have a body member with an axial bore and an additional bore transverse to the axial bore or a peripheral groove for ligature wires in order to fix the device mounted on the lower jaw to a similar device mounted on the upper jaw in roughly vertical alignment therewith. Crosswiring the retainer members between jaws provides a solid unmovable jaw fixation assembly. An alternative embodiment provides a strap member which allows the anchor members to be mounted on isolated or semi-isolated teeth.
