What holds dental arch wires in place?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The arch wire is placed in the slot of each bracket and then held in position by a ligature or elastomeric tie.
Ligature ties can be used for attaching arch wire to the bracket,but this is not the only correct choice.
Because the arch wire is removed at each subsequent adjustment appointment,cement is not used to attach the arch wire.
Elastomeric ties can be used for attaching an arch wire to the bracket,but this is not the only correct choice.
