An improved anterior splint that enhances fitting a wire mesh strip to the lingual surfaces of the teeth regardless of tooth crowding, for enhanced bonding, and adds increased labial stability to prevent labial tooth movement that can act after installation to peel away the wire mesh from the lingual surface. One or more small elongated tabs, interproximally disposed, are provided that are initially employed to manipulate and fit the wire mesh along the lingual teeth to be stabilized. Each tab is sized and fastened to the wire mesh to permit the dentist to pull labially on the tab, forcing the wire mesh into interproximal spaces, against the lingual surfaces, in spite of crowding. After the fitting is completed, the wire mesh and the tabs are bonded to the teeth, lingually and interproximally. Excess tab, projecting in front of the teeth is removed, presenting an aesthetic pleasing view.
