Title: T hooks
Post by: ami_de_votre on 07. September 2006, 00:23:00 AM

Hi,

last saturday I saw a girl with nice metal braces. But instead of the normal hooks for elastics she had hooks there like a T.

Where are these hooks for?

I believe these hooks close the gaps between the teeth.

Some types of brackets (TP for example) have vertical slots which can accept a variety of add-ons, one being a T-hook to attach elastics to.
