[0028] To make the technical solution of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figures 1 to 5 The device includes a fixing plate 1, a fixing post 2 fixedly installed on the outer side of the fixing plate 1, a fixing block 3 fixedly installed on the other side of the fixing post 2, a slide rail 10 in the middle of the fixing block 3, a top-tightening block 4 slidably installed on the inner side of the slide rail 10, a ramp 13 at one end of the inner side of the slide rail 10, and a tensioning hole 20 and a fixing hole 14 in the middle of the fixing block 3. Both the tensioning hole 20 and the fixing hole 14 are installed on the fixing block 3 by bolts 17. In this invention, the bolts 17 are installed in the tensioning hole 20, and the inner end of the bolts 17 is installed on the ramp 13. Tightening the bolts 17 tightens the top-tightening block 4, which can fix the top block 16 to the bowwire. The bolts 17 are installed in the fixing hole 14, which can achieve secondary fixation. The fixing direction is different from that in the fixing hole 14, which prevents the top-tightening block 4 from loosening and makes the installation more secure.

[0029] The fixing plate 1 has a through hole 7 on its circumference. The through hole 7 is used for the entry of adhesive, so that the bracket and the tooth are more firmly fixed.

[0030] The other side of the fixing plate 1 is provided with an arc surface 8, and the surface of the arc surface 8 is provided with multiple transverse grooves 9. The arc surface 8 is used to conform to the curvature of the teeth, and the transverse grooves 9 are used for the entry of the adhesive, increasing the reliability of the fixation.

[0031] One end of the fixing block 3 is provided with a mounting groove 11, and a lower pad 5 is fixedly installed inside the mounting groove 11. The lower pad 5 is used to contact the bow wire to complete the fixing of the lower part of the bow wire.

[0032] The inner side of the lower pad 5 is provided with multiple anti-slip grooves 12, which are used to increase the friction between the pad and the bow wire and prevent loosening.

[0033] The clamping block 4 has an inclined hole 18 and a straight hole 19 in the middle. Bolts 17 are installed inside the inclined hole 18 and the straight hole 19. The inclined hole 18 and the straight hole 19 are used to install bolts 17 to fix the clamping block 4.

[0034] The clamping block 4 is provided with slide bars 15 at both ends. The slide bars 15 are installed inside the slide rail 10 and slide inside the slide rail 10 to guide the installation of the clamping block 4.

[0035] The front end of the clamping block 4 is provided with a top block 16, and the bottom of the top block 16 is fixedly installed with an upper pad block 6. The bottom of the upper pad block 6 is provided with multiple anti-slip grooves 21. The upper pad block 6 is used to contact the bow wire and complete the fixation of the upper part of the bow wire. The anti-slip grooves 21 are used to increase the friction between the upper pad block 4 and the bow wire to prevent loosening.

[0036] The implementation principle of a novel orthodontic bracket in this application is as follows: When using the novel orthodontic bracket, adhesive is applied to the inner side of the fixing plate 1 to connect the fixing plate 1 to the teeth. The archwire is placed above the lower pad 5. Then, the slide bar 15 is installed on the slide rail 10, and the clamping block 4 is installed on the fixing block 3. Bolts 17 are installed in the oblique hole 18 and the straight hole 19. The inner end of the bolt 17 is installed in the tension hole 20 and the fixing hole 14. Then, the bolts 17 are tightened to fix the clamping block 14, so that the upper pad 6 and the lower pad 5 clamp the archwire, thus fixing the orthodontic bracket.
