Abstract:
An orthodontic Bracket and tooth positioning system, consisting of a plurality of brackets, capable of moving the attached teeth in (all) 6 directions of (all) 3 planes to their desired final position. The basis of this movement is a unique two part construction of the brackets. The two parts are separated easily for readjustment in a different position. Many positions can be thus achieved with ease. The first part of the orthodontic bracket (Part A) consists of a mesh pad on its inner aspect to be bonded onto the surface of the enamel of the tooth; on the outer aspect it has 5 holes (indents). The second part (Part B) of the orthodontic bracket consists of a projection or peg to fit any of the holes on part A on its inner aspect, together with a slot on its outer aspect, for the arch wire to run through. Part B can be easily removed and realigned in a different hole to enable fine control to play on the arch wire. This easy removability allows for the introduction of different part Bs consisting of different slot shapes and sizes to further enhance control.
