Fig. 23 representsa case in which a rotated incisor was thus retained. A very simple appliance for holding teeth that have beendrawn toward one another is shown in Fig. 24, and wasdevised and first used by Dr. G. S. consists of a silver or platinum wirepassed over lugs or pins upon bands at-tached to the teeth to be retained. Flosssilk or China-grass line, used in the samemanner would answer instead of wire;but they would neither be as strong noras cleanly. Dr. Case also uses the wirefor exerting a gentle traction force whereneeded by soldering a piece of squaremetal tubing to it at about the middleof its length and turning this with a suitable instrument,thus twisting the wires and drawing the teeth together.
