A jaw immobilizer is a medical device designed to restrict movement of the jaw. It is often used in cases of jaw injuries, fractures, or surgeries to promote healing and prevent further damage. The device helps stabilize the jaw, allowing it to rest and recover properly. Typically made from soft materials, a jaw immobilizer can be worn comfortably and is adjustable to fit different patients. It is commonly used in conjunction with other treatments, such as pain management or physical therapy, to ensure optimal recovery of the jaw and surrounding structures.
