As such, as it is possible to correct the teeth in order to close spaces between the teeth, for example a space caused by tooth extraction, with a simple structure excluding an orthodontic bracket, the efficiency of orthodontic treatment can be improved. Moreover, as the teeth disposed on both sides of a space can be evenly pulled in the direction of the space, the reliability of the orthodontic treatment can be improved.
