Fig. 341.—Retention of buccal movement of all theteeth.—Reciprocal reinforced and .simple reinforcedanchorage. The retainer consists of a lingual wire and plain bandswith accessories on 5 ] 15. The wire is not solderedto any of the bands. On the right premolar band the accessory is a shorttube, engaged medially by a nut on the lingual wire,which in this position is threaded; on the leftpremolar band the accessory is a wire loop to engagethe lingual wire, on which there is a lug engaging theloop. The lug and nut prevent lingual movementof the incisors. A cross-section of the left central incisor, havingcemented to it a plain band with loop, beforeclosing, and lingual wire in position, is shown onthe right of the figure. The gingival end of theloop is left free so that if the loop is not efficienta wire ligature may engage this free end and thelingual wire to secure the two together. Noticethat the loops are arranged diagonally across th
