ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an arch wire holder, in orthodontic appliances, composed of a bracket which is preferably to the lingual side of a tooth and has a slot for receiving a wire and which supports a rotatable locking member which is rotatably engaged with the bracket to open and close the slot thereby permitting the wire to be secured to or detached from the slot. Using such a wire holder, attachment and detachment of arch wire can easily and positively be effected in a single simple operation so that time required for dental treatment can be reduced, and further medical accidents can be prevented.
