    D=BAND HOLDER For Soldering Parts to Bands Holding Dr. Angle's D Bands over the flame while soldering parts to them is much simplified by this Holder suggested by Dr. Oppenheim. The Holder proper is screw threaded internally to fit the thread of the band, and is attached to the handle by a ball-and-socket joint, giving it a range of more than 90 degrees. The holder is screwed on to the band a few turns to catch it firmly, and then adjusted to bring the part desired over the flame. Price, D band Holder $0.50 TUBE ADJUSTER Suggested by Dk. Josef Ghunberg. Sometimes after attaching an Angle D Band to a tooth you find that the tube does not align properly for the attachment of the various parts. To attempt to adjust it with an ordinary instrument point is to invite dis- aster,—kinking the tube, injuring the threads, etc. With this Ad- juster you avoid this risk. It is formed with a shoulder just as the inside of the tube is, and its two bearing surfaces are made to ac- curately fit the two calibers of the tube, so that the necessary move- ment is easily made without damage to the tube. Price, Tube*Adjuster $0.25 BRASS LIGATURE WIRE Brass Ligature Wire for orthodontic operations, in Dr. Angle's opinion, vastly increases the value of the appliances to which it is ordinarily an auxiliary. The tough metal ligatures made of a specially drawn Brass Wire, have played an important part in orthodontia since their introduction by Dr. Angle in 1893. The great strength of' the Wire, its cleanliness, freedom from slipping, its ease of adjustment and capability of being contracted by twisting are ad- vantages extending the use of the ligature greatly. The sizes, the quality of metal, the temper will commend the metal ligature to all who try it. Three diameters, the two larger for moving teeth, the smallest for retention uses especially. In foot lengths, giving op- portunity for a firm grasp with each hand, the ends to be cut off after twisting. Each size is made up into a strand, and these braided loosely together, with both end free, so that anv particular wire can be pulled out without disturbing the others. Each braid con tains about 100* pieces of the fine wire and 50 each of the medium and coarse. We also carry braid: of each size separately. Put up in boxes. Price, per braid, assorted or either size $0.50
