ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an orthodontic appliance for the treatment of dental malocclusion. Brackets of the present invention, used for securing the orthodontic wire, are all bonded to the internal sides of the teeth, that is, the lingual or palatal side. The orthodontic appliance comprises a plate bonded to a tooth, which plate is connected to the main body of the bracket. The covering orthodontic cap for fixing the wire is connected to the main body of the bracket. The cap can be removed from the bracket since it is fixed and connected thereto with a connecting part and elastic connecting device. The bracket or the cap is provided with a shearing groove that prevents the caps from sliding off and provides for locking and removal of the cap by simple operations.
