3M AlastiK EZ3 Holder for Lingual Wire Support
A holder used to support lingual wire in position ahead of bonding, helping stabilise the wire during orthodontic appliance placement.
The 3M AlastiK EZ3 Holder is a small chairside accessory used to provide pre-bonding support for lingual wire during orthodontic treatment. Before a lingual retainer or auxiliary wire is bonded to the back surface of the teeth, it needs to be held steady and correctly positioned, and this holder gives the clinician a way to keep the wire in place while the bonding material sets, reducing the chance of the wire shifting at the critical moment.
This kind of support tool is especially useful for fixed lingual retainers, which are bonded across several teeth and need consistent positioning along the whole span for a durable, comfortable result. As a reusable chairside aid rather than a disposable consumable, the EZ3 Holder is intended to be used repeatedly across patients undergoing lingual wire bonding.
