FIELD: medical engineering.
SUBSTANCE: device has removable maxillary plastic plate and mandibular one. The plates are separate and joined with flexible tie rod. To provide uniform load distribution, the maxillary plate is manufactured as supporting member. The supporting member has arch in frontal part that is congruently adjacent to vestibular surface of the frontal teeth. The arch is manufactured from wire and rigidly connected to basis. Premolars and molars have cramp iron members on frontal contact surface. The mandibular plate is manufactured as mandibular alveolar part base and internal surface of lower teeth. The plate is fastened to dental row with cramp iron members and has flexible tie rod hooks.
EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment; no disturbances to speech and chewing; self-standing replacement of flexible tie-rod.
