Abstract:

The buccal archwire used in the pre-adjusted edgewise appliances technique is anchored to the brackets by means of ligatures made of soft stainless steel wire of about 0.010 inch diameter. These ligatures are seated under the flanges of the brackets. Various methods have been advocated seating and tying the ligatures. The performed ligatures used in this method differ from those conventionally used in that they can easily and quickly be formed on a jig constructed from available orthodontic material.
