In fixed orthodontic treatment, for the cinch back purpose, there is need of annealing of distal end of NiTi arch wire. During this procedure the area or length to be annealed is difficult to control. This inappropriate heating leads to deleterious effect on property of the wire. To prevent this problem a simple economical and efficient device was prepared that prevents annealing of excessive length of wire and thus prevents the deterioration of wire required for appropriate action.
