Abstract
A bite block provides a pair of bilateral jaw spacers positioned between the patient's posterior teeth to separate an interincisal distance between the jaw. A connecting bridge behind the patient's incisors joins the bilateral spacers at opposite sides of the jaw. The bilateral jaw spacers are positioned between the patient's upper and lower posterior teeth to transfer the forces against the bite block when the patient bites down to the stronger and wider posterior teeth that can withstand larger stresses. The posterior teeth have large, flat surfaces which can stably receive the bilateral jaw spacers without unwanted displacement.
