The bump can be supplemented with a material such as an adhesive.
182 Orthodontic bracket and method of debonding a bracket US10428292 2003-05-02 US20040219470A1 2004-11-04 Farrokh Farzin-Nia
An orthodontic bracket comprises a bracket body, a base on the bracket body, and mechanical bonding structure on the base. An adhesive is applied to and mechanically bonded with the mechanical bonding structure to secure the bracket body and the base to a tooth. A portion of the base has a bond strength with the adhesive which is reduced relative to the bond strength between the remainder of the base and the adhesive. A debonding method includes applying a debonding force to the bracket at a first area of reduced adhesion between the bracket and the tooth, and removing the bracket from the tooth.

185 Orthodontic debonding tools and methods US09558449 2000-04-25 US06382965B1 2002-05-07 Albert Ruiz-Vela; Farrokh Farzin-Nia
Debonding tools and methods especially useful for removing ceramic brackets adhesively bonded to the teeth of a patient. In general, the tool and methods involve applying a tensile force to one side of the bracket while avoiding point loading which may cause the bracket to break. The tensile force may be applied by grasping the bracket with a tool having two jaws and pivoting the tool and the bracket about an axis generally lying in an occlusal-gingival plane of the tooth. At least the portions of the jaws that engage the bracket are formed from a material having a substantially reduced hardness relative to the brittle material of the bracket. Other embodiments of the tool engage a recess, such as one disposed beneath a tie wing, and pry the bracket away from the tooth.

188 Orthodontic pliers US132097 1993-10-05 US5395236A 1995-03-07 Suhail A. Khouri
The pliers in overall structure resemble conventional orthodontic pliers, but have specialized jaw members adapted to effectuate necessary gingivally directed bends in the distal ends of the arch wire. With reference to an imaginary plane along which the jaw members open and close, a first jaw member projects transversely from this plane and has a free end provided with an angulated, profile facing the longitudinal axis of the pliers. A second jaw member projects transversely to the plane, and has a free end provided with a concave, preferably angulated profile adapted to mate intimately with the convex profile when the jaws are in the closed position. Each of the profiles includes an inner surface closer to the pivot joint of the pliers, oriented perpendicularly to the plane and parallel to the pliers longitudinal axis, and an outer surface farther from the pivot, oriented perpendicularly to the plane and angled obliquely to the longitudinal axis. Preferably, the dimension of the inner surface parallel to the longitudinal axis, is less than the dimension of the outer surface along the oblique angle. Preferably, the outer surface is about 2.5 mm in length, and the inner surface about 0.5 mm in length, defining a ratio of approximately 5 to 1.

The tool is equipped with a spring-loaded catch having a tip which fits under the edge of the bracket, and with a head which engages the top of the tooth, so that when the handles of the tool are squeezed together the bonded bracket is removed from the surface of the tooth without any tendency to torque the tooth during the process.
197 Orthodontic O-ring and ligator therefore US834180 1977-09-19 US4217686A 1980-08-19 William B. Dragan
The disclosure is directed to an orthodontic O-ring assembly which comprises a plurality of orthodontic O-rings integrally molded to a core which can be readily wrapped about an orthodontist's hand and the respective O-rings being individually dispensed by a ligator. The ligator comprises a tool having relatively moveable jaws which are sized so as to be received within the internal diameter of the O-ring in the closed position and thereafter moved to an open or expanded position to effect the stretching of the O-ring to be dispensed, thereby causing the O-ring to separate from its core at a frangible point. In a modified form of the invention, the ligator may be provided with a lock to maintain the ligator in the open jaw position.
