ABSTRACT:
A new esthetic bracket protector is formed of a silicone material and can be placed over the orthodontic bracket to achieve the esthetic purpose. The protector is round-shaped, is hollow in the interior and has a covering. There is a hole in each side for the main wire to pass through and there is a slit from each hole to the base of the covering. In this manner, the protector may be easily pressed over the bracket and wire. It covers the bracket, prevents mucosal ulceration and caries and provides an esthetic appearance.
