ABSTRACT:
A spring loaded holder that includes a pair of rigid bodies that are laterally movable, which bodies define adjacent end surfaces of arcuate convex shape that may removably and frictionally grip concave end edges of gingival occlusal wings that are disposed outwardly from the base of an orthodontic bracket. When the bracket is so gripped it may be moved to a position where the surface of the base most remote from the holder may be bonded to a tooth. To prevent inadvertent rotation of the orthodontic bracket when so gripped relative to the holder, at least one of the pair of bodies includes an elongate protuberance that engage an anchor wire receiving groove in the surface of the bracket most distant from the base. The bodies if desired may be formed as an integral part of the holder.
