摘要：
abstract embodiments of the present invention report to an adjustable bite block for positioning within a person's mouth and maintaining the mouth in an open position. the adjustable bite block comprising at least one band of curved material comprising a first portion and a second portion. the first and second portions configured to be coupled to one another only to define a closed loop with an opening defined therethrough, wherein the first and second portions are further configured to be selectively adjusted relative to one another only to adjust a radial dimension of the loop, and wherein the band is configured to be positioned within the person's mouth such that at least a portion of the loop has the person's mouth in an open position. embodiments of the adjustable bite block may use snap tabs spaced along the band or a ratchet mechanism for adjustment of the radial dimension. "Adjustable Bite Blocks" The present invention relates to an adjustable bite block for positioning within a person's mouth and holding the mouth in an open position. the adjustable bite block comprising at least one band of curved material comprising a first portion and a second portion. the first and second portions configured to be coupled together to define a closed loop with an opening defined therethrough, wherein the first and second portions are further configured to be selectively adjusted relative to each other so as to adjusting a radial dimension of the circuit, and wherein the band is configured to be positioned within the person's mouth so that at least a portion of the loop holds the person's mouth in an open position. embodiments of the adjustable bite block may use spaced tabs spaced along the web or a rack mechanism for radial dimension adjustment.abstract embodiments of the present invention relate to an adjustable bite block for positioning within a person’s mouth and maintaining the mouth in an open position. the adjustable bite block comprising at least one band of cur
