CA 2289588

The present invention provides an intra-oral anchorage which comprises a flexible belt that extends around and between the teeth of a patient. The belt has locking means fixed thereon to receive a free end portion of the belt and lock said portion against retraction therefrom. The locking means is in the form of a buckle. The intra-oral anchorage of the present invention can be used to hold a jaw in a fixed position, in the case of a broken jaw for example. It offers ease of application and therefore a reduction in the cost of surgery as well as eliminating the risk of "needle stick" injury inherent with cutting and bending multiple ends of wire. It causes less gum damage in placement and removal, which is similarly easier, faster and less uncomfortable for the patient.

L'invention concerne un ancrage intrabuccal composé d'une bande souple s'étendant autour des dents et entre les dents du patient. Cette bande possède des moyens de verrouillage qui sont fixés sur ladite bande afin de recevoir une partie d'extrémité libre de ladite bande et verrouiller ladite partie afin de s'opposer à sa rétraction. Ces moyens de verrouillage se présentent sous la forme d'une boucle. On peut utiliser cet ancrage intrabuccal afin de maintenir la mâchoire en position fixe, dans le cas d'une mâchoire cassée, par exemple. Il peut s'appliquer sans difficultés et permet d'obtenir, de ce fait, une diminution des coûts chirurgicaux et d'éliminer le risque de blessure par piqûre inhérent au sectionnement et à l'incurvation d'extrémités multiples de fil. Sa mise en place et son retrait limitent au minimum les blessures aux gencives et sont, par conséquent, plus rapides, plus faciles et plus confortables pour le patient.
