Abstract: A device for forming orthodontic arches from straight wire blanks comprises a die having a cylindrical surface with multiple wire-receiving grooves situated in planes perpendicular to the die axis. A clamp temporarily applies a clamping force to the wire blank, thereby firmly holding a portion of the wire blank in the groove of the die. The bender has two sweep arms, each pivoted on the die axis. A slide is provided on each of the sweep arms, and is constrained for movement toward and away from the die axis. Each slide carries a circular cylindrical roller mounted in bearings on the slide, for rotation about a roller axis parallel to the die axis. An adjustable toggle mechanism on each arm temporarily locks its roller in a position such that the outer roller surface presses the wire blank into one of the wire-receiving grooves before the arm begins to sweep about the die axis, and throughout the sweeping movement of the arm. Each of the arms is pivotable from a position in which its roller is located adjacent to the clamp to a position beyond the position in which its roller is directly opposite to the clamp. A pivoted positioning block insures symmetry in the arch by engaging one end of the blank and thereby insuring that the exact center of the blank is tangent to the die. The block pivots out of the way to provide clearance for arm movement. The die grooves can be configured to pretorque the arches automatically in the forming operation.

Abstract: Orthodontic crimping pliers include a first member having a first handle at a first end and a first jaw at a second end, the first jaw having a first flat edge, a second member having a second handle at a first end and a second jaw at a second end having a second flat edge and a pivot connecting the first and second members and allowing the first and second members to pivot with respect to one another so that pivoting the first handle towards the second handle causes the first jaw and the second jaw to move from an open position with the first and second jaws spaced apart toward a closed position with the first flat edge of the first jaw and second flat edge of the second jaw adjacent one another. In the closed position, the first flat edge of the first jaw and second flat edge of the second jaw are parallel and adjacent one another over a width of 0.005 to 0.015 inches.

Abstract: An arch wire for correction of anterior tooth malformations comprising a continuous, unitary, solid wire having circular cross-sections at least in its anterior segments and preferably throughout its length with the cross-sections of the anterior segments being smaller than the cross-sections of the posterior segments. The narrow anterior segment is easy to install and comfortable to the patient, while the larger posterior segments are more stiff and less likely to damage the patient's gums or pull out of the buccal tubes on the patient's molars even when the parts of the wire adjacent to the bicuspids and canines are unsupported.
