Apparatus for applying orthodontic elastics to brackets, including a container having a tube shaped member for housing said elastics in a predetermined position and/or orientation, said external side of the tube-shaped member carrying thereon a plurality of elastics, a release mechanism for selectively releasing an elastic from the container to an elastic placer positioned relative to said elastic housing to receive an elastic from said elastic container, said elastic placer having at least two rods sliding in use along said internal side of the tube-shaped member, said rods causing a first automatic inward-converging movement of the extremities of said rods respect said tube-shaped member in order to automatically receive an elastic from said elastic container, a second automatic outward-diverging movement of the extremities of said rods in order to automatically expand and apply said elastic directly to a bracket.
