ABSTRACT:
An orthodontic bracket with a self-contained seating and locking mechanism which incorporates a slidable, tapered and rotatable plug with an attached lever system. When the plug is rotated, the lever system comes in contact with and seats an archwire contained in the bracket slot. When the plug is then moved laterally, a condition of frictional retention is achieved. The archwire is thus firmly seated and locked in its slot by the lever system. When the plug is next moved in the opposite direction, the archwire is once again freed.
