Abstract
The invention relates to a bracket for correcting the position of a tooth, comprising a bracket base of a bracket body, which bracket base can be fastened to a tooth, and which bracket body has a slot, extending in the mesiodistal direction, and also a fourth slot portion that narrows by a predetermined amount in a predetermined region, so as preferably to form a snug fit for an inserted archwire, wherein the fourth slot portion is designed running in the longitudinal direction substantially parallel to the bracket base.
Claims18
A bracket for correcting the position of a tooth, comprising a bracket base of a bracket body, the bracket base can be fastened to a tooth, and the bracket body has a slot extending in a mesiodistal direction, the bracket has a first slot portion, a second slot portion, and a third slot portion, and the bracket has a fourth slot portion that narrows by a predetermined amount in a predetermined region, so as to form a snug fit for an inserted archwire, wherein the fourth slot portion is running in a longitudinal direction substantially parallel to the bracket base, the longitudinal direction being perpendicular to the mesiodistal direction,
- wherein several straight web-like elevations running alongside one another in the longitudinal direction of the fourth slot channel are formed therein, the elevations ensuring that the archwire does not rest against the slot channel over the entire surface of the slot channel wall but only where the web-like elevations are located.
A bracket for correcting the position of a tooth, comprising a bracket base on a bracket body, which bracket base can be fastened to a tooth, and the bracket body has a slot extending in a mesiodistal direction, the bracket has a first slot portion, a second slot portion, and a third slot portion, and the bracket has a fourth slot portion that has two opposite slot walls, wherein the opposite slot walls do not lie parallel and instead enclose an angle of 2° to 8°, wherein the fourth slot portion is running in a longitudinal direction substantially parallel to the bracket base, the longitudinal direction being perpendicular to the mesiodistal direction,
- wherein several straight web-like elevations running alongside one another in the longitudinal direction of the fourth slot channel are formed therein, the elevations ensuring that the archwire does not rest against the slot channel over the entire surface of the slot channel wall but only where the web-like elevations are located.
