An orthodontic arch stabilization device comprises a plurality of links connected to form an elongated chain is secured through selected links directly or through bracket bases to a patient's teeth which are to be stabilized. The links can be rigid and of metal, such as stainless steel or a noble metal. A method of stabilizing teeth employs the arch stabilization device and includes preparing the lingual surfaces of the teeth to be stabilized, applying adhesive to the lingual surfaces of the teeth, placing the device in passive contact with the adhesive on the lingual surfaces, and at least partially curing the adhesive.
