ABSTRACT:
An orthodontic appliance is molded either from a ceramic material or metal. When a ceramic material is used, the color of the appliance may be coordinated with that of a tooth. The appliance has a domed outwardly facing surface which is entirely curved in both the length and width directions and which is free of angular edge surfaces. The appliance may be adapted either for bonding directly to a tooth surface or for welding to a tooth encircling band. A cross slot extends into the body of the appliance, the cross slot having a curved surface between the bottom and sides of the cross slot.
