A computer configured appliance ( 10 ) for orthodontic correction of malocclusions that incorporates a number of computer configured prong units ( 20 ) for attachment to selected teeth. Each prong unit ( 20 ) is connected to a detachable placement template ( 28 ) for positioning the prong units ( 20 ) at a computer selected tooth location. Once positioned, the prong units ( 20 ) are bonded with dental bonding cement ( 40 ) to a predetermined site of each tooth. A successive series of computer configured segmented compartment arches ( 42 ) are connected by interproximal material ( 48 ), with each arch having elastic entry compartments ( 38 ), are snapped onto each prong unit ( 20 ). When each arch ( 42 ) has achieved the optimum tooth movement, the arch ( 42 ) is unsnapped, removed and replaced by snapping in the next arch in the series, which has a higher sequential increment of movement.
