Abstract
An orthodontic wire ligating member is engageable with an orthodontic bracket to retain an archwire inserted into a groove in the bracket. The ligating member is an elastically deformable member made of a synthetic resin and has at least two spaced engaging portions detachably engageable with the bracket, and a back portion integral with the engaging portions and elastically deformable flexibly to engage the bracket to retain the archwire. Thus, the friction between the archwire and the bracket slot is minimized, and the archwire is retained in a friction-free or low-friction state.
