The adjustment changes anterior-posterior relationship of the two parts. The appliance (10) includes a pair of orthopedic screw adjustment mechanisms (30) on opposite sides of the dental arch which connect the two parts (26, 28) together to provide the adjustment. The orthopedic screw adjustment mechanism includes an orthopedic screw (35) which is used to adjust the spacing between a first part A (32) a nd a second part B (34). First part A (32) and second part B (34) are attached to the dental upper part (26) and the dental lower part (2 8) so as to provide for a limited movement between the two parts. This allows the patient to move the lower jaw a limited amount with respect to the upper jaw.
