AI Technical Summary
Existing self-ligating orthodontic bracket mechanisms are complex to operate, have poor mechanical stability, and insufficient durability, which affects treatment efficiency and effectiveness.
It adopts a push-type one-way locking mechanism, which realizes "one-click installation/removal" of the bowwire by pressing. Combined with rigid limit and elastic compensation structure, it simplifies operation and improves clamping force stability. The modular design extends service life.
It simplifies clinical operation time, reduces operation difficulty by 45%, achieves a clamping force error of ≤5%, extends service life to more than 8 years, and improves the accuracy of orthodontic force transmission and equipment durability.
