ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for compressing the symphyseal area of the mandibular or maxillary of a mammal. This apparatus utilizes an adjustable jaw screw that permits the normal mastication of a ruptured symphyseal joint. The jaw screw, inserted into the mouth of the mammalian patient, has mounting members that conform to the contour of the forward jaw teeth of the patient. Adjusting the jaw screw compresses the mounting members against the forward jaw teeth thereby allowing the healing of the ruptured symphyseal joint.
