Please note that some clinicians also solder one arm of the preformed appliance to obtain a stronger joining of the tube and wire. This additional safety measure makes it more unlikely that the preformed appliance will come apart in the mouth and present a swallowing danger. In this photograph, note that the buccal tube and wire have been soldered together for more secure retention.
