ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a dental-orthodontic device or instrument comprising an essentially straight handle and a working head which is particularly suited for the precise placement of adhesive brackets on tooth surfaces. Between its handle and its working head the instrument is approximately U-shaped, consequently, when the device is used, the handle is outside the oral cavity of the patient. When positioning the brackets on the teeth, the corners of the mouth and the cheeks of the patient, stabilized by a "lip-retractor", lie in the U-shaped portion of the instrument. In addition, the working head is disposed in the extension of the central axis of the handle. The instrument may also be constructed in such a way that is resembles a pair of tweezers.
