ABSTRACT:
A rotatably adjustable orthodontic bracket assembly for correcting improperly positioned or angled teeth. A tooth band or bonding base is provided with a bearing in which a pivot element is mounted having at one end a flexible friction flange engaging the posterior side of the band or base and having an arch wire bracket at the other end engaging the anterior side of the band or base so that the bracket may be readily adjusted to a desired angular setting and retained in such setting during handling. Thereafter, the bracket is welded to the band or base and subsequently the band or base is cemented to the tooth. A gage is provided to readily adjust the bracket to any predetermined angular setting or to indicate the angle to which the bracket has been previously set.
