Abstract
Intermaxillary fixation using erich arch bars is a common treatment in maxillofacial trauma. The arch bars are stabilized and fixed to maxillary and mandibular arches with interdental wires which are twisted, cut and bent to make loops. Wire twisters and artery forceps are used to bend and make loops of cut twisted wires with difficulty. The orthodontic tie and tucker can be incorporated in oral surgery to bend the cut end of the twisted interdental arch bar wires to make consistent loops.
