Oral commisure splint

Title:

Oral commisure splint

Text:

I am treating a burn patient who needs an oral commisure splint. This is a
device that stretches the mouth so it will open wider. His scar tissue has
left him with very little mouth opening. I suggested he contact a dentist or
oral surgeon and he has had no luck. Who normally does this? Is this something
I can help him with?

Thank You,

David Falk, LPO
