An alternative method is to use plastic mesh like this: [link]
The moving jaw is made by creating a hinge so that when you put the head on, the bottom jaw fits your lower jaw and it opens near the back of your jaw. It is important to make a hinge using a small plastic or metal piece for the jaw to hinge on and keep it in place. Elastic fabric can be attached from bottom jaw to top jaw to help it spring back and forth. It is important to buy elastic that is not too stiff for your jaw movement. Otherwise it will be difficult to open your mouth. When you glue the fur onto the head, make sure not to put glue right over the hinge of both sides of the jaw, as it will prevent the hinge from working.
That is all I know about the non-balaclava method.
One last thing: Here is a step by step guide of a good fursuit maker who used to use the non-balaclava method and used wire: [link]
