Summary:A system for achieving maxillo-mandibular fixation includes a bone fixation device including a bone fixation body formed from a plurality of links. The links define corresponding crests and valleys so as to impart flexibility into the bone fixation body. Thus, the bone fixation body can be aligned with the dental arch of the mandible and maxilla as necessary, and subsequently fastened to the underlying bone. Each bone fixation device includes at least one securement location on the fixation body that can attach to a securement device, such that the securement device fixes or stabilizes the mandible and the maxilla with respect to each other. 本发明公开了种用于实现上下颌骨固定的系统，所述系统包括骨固定装置，所述骨固定装置包括由多个联接件形成的骨固定主体。所述联接件限定对应的峰和谷以便为所述骨固定主体赋予柔性。因此，所述骨固定主体可根据需要而与所述下颌骨和所述上颌骨的牙弓对齐，并且随后紧固到所述下层骨。每个骨固定装置均在可附接到紧固装置的所述固定主体上包括至少个紧固位置，使得所述紧固装置将所述下颌骨和所述上颌骨相对于彼此固定或稳定。
