Abstract: A crimp stop is made of a U-shaped cross-section member made of a metal material, the member being annealed to soften the metal material. The crimp stop can be made by a process for including forming a metal material into a member having a U-shaped cross-section, annealing the member by heating, and cooling the annealed member to soften the metal material.

Abstract: This orthodontic appliance comprises a novel arch wire having posterior segments of circular cross-section and an anterior segment at least part of which is rectangular or trapezoidal in cross-section. When used in "light wire" treatment, the arch wire is secured to a bracket by a special lock pin having an offset surface on its tail. The offset surface cooperates with the rectangular portion of the anterior segment to prevent relative rotation between the arch wire and the bracket, thereby allowing torqueing. The special lock pin is also used with a uniform rectangular wire to apply torque to posterior teeth having light wire brackets.

Abstract: A crimping machine includes a platform having a substantially flat upper working surface and a first crimping jaw fixed on the platform. An arm is slidably attached to the platform, the arm having a second crimping jaw provided thereon, the arm being slidable at least between a first, crimping position in which the first and second jaws are opposed and adjacent one another and spaced apart by a first distance sufficient to crimp a workpiece between the first and second jaws, and a second, open position in which the first and second jaws are opposed and spaced apart by a second distance, the second distance being greater than the first distance and sufficient to insert an uncrimped workpiece therebetween. A resilient biasing element is provided for biasing the second jaw towards the first jaw. An actuator is provided for forcing the arm into the first, crimping position.

Abstract: An orthodontic bracket includes a bracket body having a mesial-distally extending archwire slot opening to the labial surface portion, and a mesial-distally extending groove provided adjacent the archwire slot in a portion of the bracket body labially and occlusally of the archwire slot, the groove opening in a gingival direction. A spring clip of resilient material has labial and lingual portions in embracing sliding engagement with corresponding labial and lingual surface portions of the body, the spring clip being movable on the bracket body between an open position in which the archwire slot is open to the labial surface portion and a closed position in which the archwire slot is closed by the spring clip to the labial surface portion. The labial portion of the spring clip terminates in a free end that, in the closed position, is retained in the groove in the bracket body. The groove substantially prevents movement of the spring clip in the labial direction when in the closed position and is provided in relation to the archwire slot such that, when an archwire is provided in the archwire slot and is in contact with a lingual surface of the archwire slot, the spring clip is not in contact with the archwire.
