A device (10) to be held in the mouth of a patient who has limited jaw opening and to assist in the therapy. The device has a frame with opposite side members (12) having adjustable lengths. A rotatable knob (28) drives a threaded screw to change the tension applied to a pair of springs. The springs activate a cam to raise or lower an upper mouthpiece with respect to a lower mouthpiece and to thereby adjust the jaw opening of the patient.

Le dispositif comprend une structure pourvue d'éléments latéraux (12) opposés aux longueurs réglables. Une poignée (28) rotative entraîne une vis filetée afin de modifier la tension exercée sur une paire de ressorts. Les ressorts activent une came pour élever ou abaisser un embout buccal supérieur par rapport à un embout buccal inférieur afin d'ajuster l'ouverture de la mâchoire du patient.
