The present invention discloses a universal lingual bracket system, comprising No. 1-7 universal lingual brackets connected in series by an arch wire. The universal lingual bracket includes a base plate and a bracket body portion that are integrated as a whole. A mesh bottom is arranged on the base plate and the mesh bottom is integrally molded with the base plate. The mesh bottom, the base plate and the bracket body portion are integrally molded. In addition, the mesh bottom is in the structure of an interlaced woven wire mesh, so that the universal lingual brackets have strong capability to be against the teeth surfaces and they are unlikely to come off. Even if they come off, they will not damage the mesh bottom. The mesh bottom can be used again once it is treated by sandblasting. The universal lingual bracket system provided by the invention has the advantages that it can be securely and easily installed and has high durability; therefore it is applicable to various universal lingual appliances. |

The invention relates to an orthodontic archwire bracket. The bracket comprises a first body (10) with a base (11) configured to be fixed to a tooth and a second body (20) with a central hollow portion (25) and a slot (21) formed by two slot portions (21a, 21b) on opposite sides of the central hollow portion (25). The slot (21) is configured to receive an archwire. The first and second bodies (10, 20) are connected by a ball joint coupling, and the second body (20) is made of a material with shape memory which maintains an original shape at body temperature and acquires a deformable state at a temperature below body temperature. The second body (20) further comprises retaining members (26) extending into each of said slot portions (21a, 21b) next to an inlet thereof.

An orthodontic bracket (110, 410, 610) for coupling an archwire with a tooth comprises a bracket body (112, 412, 612), a hinge pin (116, 416, 616), and a latch (114, 414, 614). The bracket body (112, 412, 612) includes a first surface configured to be mounted to the tooth and an archwire slot (118, 418) in a second surface. The hinge pin (116, 416, 616) includes a first shaft portion coupled with the bracket body (112, 412, 612). The latch (114, 414, 614) is coupled to the bracket body (112, 412, 612) by a second shaft portion of the hinge pin. The latch (114, 414, 614) is movable between an opened position and a closed position. A cross-sectional profile of the first shaft portion and/or the second shaft portion of the hinge pin (116, 416, 616) is configured to elastically deform to impart a spring bias to the latch (114, 414, 614) that opposes movement of the latch (114, 414, 614) relative to the bracket body (112, 412, 612).

A ceramic orthodontic bracket has a centrally located clip for retaining an archwire in an archwire slot. The body of the bracket includes a mesial section, a distal section, and a bridge section, wherein the bridge section extends through, and retains, the clip. The bridge section also includes a recess adjacent to the bridge section that facilitates debonding of the bracket from a patient's tooth. Preferably there are gaps on one or both sides of the clip to allow space for debonding of the bracket by applying a mesial-distal compressive force on the bracket and fracturing the bracket along the recess. This configuration allows the overall mesial-distal width of the bracket to be reduced, thereby facilitating the bonding of brackets to narrow and/or maloccluded teeth. Another embodiment includes a stop member that is connected to the base of the bracket and retains the clip on the bridge section. | ||||||
