ABSTRACT:
An attachment arrangement for an orthodontic appliance is provided in which a stop covering is secured on an arch-wire appliance so that the covering will abut against a mesial end of the buccal tubes to which the wire is attached. The covering includes an elastic tab part which has an opening therethrough to engage over an end of the wire behind the buccal tube so that the tube is clamped between an anterior part of the covering and the tab end. The covering can be trimmed to remove a posterior portion thereof to permit the wire to move distally within the mouth and spacers can be inserted onto the wire to be positioned between the covering and the tube to move the wire mesially. The elastic tab permits quick removal and replacement of the appliance.
