This invention is a device for use by orthodontists to mark arch wires used in orthodontic work wherein the device employ a means for transcribing the measurements made by orthodontists onto a wire in a permanent fashion so that the orthodontist may then correctly shape and use the marks as guides for placement of specific bend, such as loops, or for placement of attachments such as hooks on the arch wire used in orthodontic work. The device includes a means for clamping the unformed wire in position and means for aligning measurements and impressing permanent markings upon the wire in such manner that they may be readily identified. A cam-like marking device and indicating needle are worked cooperatively for this purpose.
