ABSTRACT:
An arch bar for direct bonding to the teeth of a patient comprises an elongated arch bar having a plurality of ligature hook elements extending from one side thereof. The back or gingival portion of the arch bar is provided with a layer of mesh material extending substantially the entire length thereof. The mesh material may be in the form of a fine metal mesh which is spot welded or otherwise secured to the gingival portion of the arch bar to effect optimum retention with the bonding agent that secures the arch bar to the enamel surfaces of the patient's teeth. The arch bar may be perforate along its length to enable light passage through the arch bar when photo polymerizing bonding agents are employed. The ligature hooks may be of a configuration to enable retention thereof by special application instruments for positioning of the arch bar during installation.
