I used silk ligatures instead ofrubber, because the wire spring gave all the tension necessary. I ORTHODONTIA. 121 placed small pin-heads on the plate, on both labial and lingual sur-faces, at proper points, and attached rubber ligatures from lingual to Fig. labial pins, passing between the teeth, and the incisors and right cuspidwere readily moved into position. The rubber plate extendedJ in Fig. 3.
