ABSTRACT:
A device for repositioning the mandibular jaw relative to the maxilliary jaw during orthodontic treatment has two links connected together by a pivot. Each link is also pivotally connected to one of the patient's jaws at a position remote from the pivot. As the jaws are closed, the links urge the relative positions of the jaws to certain orientations as determined by the practitioner.
