“…However, there are many shortcomings, such as complicated procedures and discomfort. Orthodontists have used dental appliances for IMF in orthognathic surgery for decades (7, 8). During orthognathic surgery, the combination of hooked wires and brackets are used for IMF.…”

Intermaxillary fixation (IMF) with the arch bars or looped wires has been widely used to treat mandible fractures. However, manipulation of these appliances takes time and the medical staff is endangered by wire stabbing injuries. A modified method, the direct bonding technique combined with orthodontic appliances, simplifies the IMF concept to overcome these problems. It is faster, safer and easier to apply while the response of patients, with respect to treatment results, ease of the living and oral hygiene is more favorable. This report presents two cases of mandible fractures treated according to this protocol which resulted in good outcomes as expected.

“…Perhaps in response to the inherent disadvantages of arch bar MMF, several alternatives have been described, including suspension wires, 10 intraoral cortical bone screws, 11–13 acrylic‐coated arch bars to protect dentition, 14 and minihook maxillary and mandibular screws 15 . The use of orthodontic direct bonded brackets for MMF has also been described 16–20 . Direct bonded brackets have a record of safety and efficacy in orthognathic surgical cases.…”

MMF/DBB can serve as the single treatment method with satisfactory results in patients with favorable, less complicated mandible fractures, although with increased experience, we have treated several more complex cases with MMF/DBB alone. In cases necessitating ORIF, MMF/DBB can be performed preoperatively to align fracture segments and reestablish occlusion. This facilitates placement of osteosynthesis plates and reduces ORIF operative time. MMF/DBB is an economical, safe technique that minimizes blood-borne-pathogen risk to the operative team, eliminates periodontal injury, facilitates postoperative dental hygiene, and is painless to apply and remove.
