MULTIFUNCTIONAL TWO-JAW ORTHODONTIC APPARATUS PROSTHESIS FOR TREATING MESIAL OCCLUSION CASES Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A61C7/36 

FIELD: medical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: device has base, fixing members and bearing members. Fixing and bearing members are fixed on the base. The base has two removable plates top one and bottom one. Artificial chewing teeth are mounted on plates for substituting the failing teeth. The top base plate is provided with occlusion inlays in the 6/6 region, round clammers on the sixth teeth with hooks for flexible tie members, protractors and to two lip pelots which are soldered into the base near the chewing teeth.
