A method of application of firm and resilient temporary intermaxillary fixation using readily available orthodontic elastomeric chain is described. Advantages lie in the time efficiency of its use, relative safety compared to tie-wiring techniques, flexibility of direction of pull, and the ease and rapidity with which it can be removed. Consideration is given to other potential uses of the material in the retention of various appliances used in orthognathic procedures.
本文描述了一种使用易于获得的正畸弹性链进行牢固且有弹性的临时颌间固定的方法。其优点在于使用时的时间效率、与结扎技术相比的相对安全性、牵引方向的灵活性以及去除的简便性和快速性。还考虑了该材料在正颌手术中用于固定各种矫治器的其他潜在用途。
