ABSTRACT:
An applicator tool for use in attaching elastomeric orthodontic loops to orthodontic tooth appliances. The tool includes a pair of pivotal clamping arms having a pair of loop-gripping tips for clamping a loop in a manner permitting attachment of the clamped loop to a tooth appliance. One of the arms has a tapered end portion for holding a stack of such loops for sliding of successive end loops in the stack in a downstream direction. A loop-feed claw mounted on the other arm is adapted first to climb over, and then to engage the upstream side of, an end loop in the loop stack, when the arms are opened, and to place the engaged loop in a position for operative clamping, when the arms are closed.
