Abstract
An orthodontic wire bending device including a wire guiding unit and a wire bending unit; the wire guiding unit including a convoying system and an exit, and the wire bending unit including at least one wire bending member able to turn around a center of rotation, such that, when the wire comes out of the exit of the wire guiding unit a rotation of the at least one of the bending members around the center of rotation results in the bending of the wire.

1-20. (canceled)
A Orthodontic wire bending device comprising:
- a wire guiding unit comprising a convoying system for driving the wire and an exit for delivering the wire, the wire guiding unit being configured to guide the wire in a first direction along a longitudinal axis through the exit, and
- a wire bending unit fed by the wire delivered by the exit, comprising at least one wire bending member, the at least one wire bending member being able to turn around a center of rotation in a first plane including the longitudinal axis, such that, when the wire comes out of the exit, a rotation of the at least one bending members around the center of rotation results in the bending of the wire proximate to the exit,
- wherein the exit of the wire guiding unit is located, along the first direction, beyond the center of rotation.
