ABSTRACT:
A spring clip for use with an arch wire and an orthodontic bracket includes a collar portion generally in the shape of a loop which is engageable with the orthodontic bracket. The collar portion may be at least partially resilient, or may be deformable to be positively retained with the bracket. A retaining finger, preferably integral with the collar, extends at least partially across the bracket engaging loop defined by the collar. The finger is at least partially and resiliently movable in directions generally transverse to the plane defined by the loop and is arranged to apply forces toward the arch wire relative to the bracket to retain the arch wire relative to the bracket. The finger is placed in a biassing condition when the loop-shaped collar of the orthodontic appliance is engaged onto the bracket.
