Various modalities are being used to achieve intraoperative maxillomandibular fixation. All these techniques have their own merits and demerits. This paper intends to propose a new technique to achieve intraoperative maxillomandibular fixation using two titanium miniplates. The technique proposed is simple, effective, less time consuming.
