Abstract

An orthodontic bracket includes a bracket body with a recess on a top surface of the bracket body and an archwire slot adapted to receive an orthodontic wire. The orthodontic bracket also includes a ligating member with a projection on its bottom surface. The ligating member is movably connected to the bracket body for retaining the orthodontic wire in the archwire slot when the ligating member ismoved from an open position to a closed position. The orthodontic bracket also includes a discrete spring positioned in the recess on the bracket body such that a force is required to move the ligating member from the open position to the closed position.

Description

【Background technique】 [0001] Orthodontic brackets are often used by orthodontists to prevent and treat facial and dental abnormalities, such as malocclusion. Patients who seek treatment from an orthodontist have crooked teeth, especially problems with crowding, buck teeth, misaligned teeth, poor tooth appearance, gummy smiles, and difficulty chewing. [0002] Orthodontic treatment can correct the above problems as well as treat other cosmetic and oral abnormalities. Problems requiring orthodontic treatment are often caused by inconsistencies in the structure of the supporting bones that house the upper and lower dental arches. Orthodontic treatment can address these inconsistencies to provide a pleasing smile and normal masticatory function with long-term stability. Well-trained and experienced orthodontists use a variety of techniques and related oral equipment and products to achieve these goals for dental patients. [0003] One such product that is widely used by orthod...
