ABSTRACT:
An orthodontic appliance for correcting an overbite or underbite condition is disclosed. The appliance comprises one or a pair of flexible members which are attached at opposite ends to the upper and lower jaws of a patient. The end attachments allow the members to swivel freely and the members to bend when the patient is chewing, talking or cleaning his or her teeth, but when the patient is relaxed, the appliance members tend to straighten and apply a small but continuous force generally along the normal growth direction for a human jaw to overcome the abnormality being treated.
