ABSTRACT:
A device for correcting teeth irregularities includes a bracket to be fixed on a tooth. The bracket has a slit, and a base plate is interposed between the bracket and the surface to be fixed to the tooth. A wire is inserted into the slit and engaged with the bracket. The base plate has a thickness which is in a range of 0.5 to 5 mm, and the base plate is composed of an easily plastically deformable resin on a surface to be fixed to the tooth. The base plate is capable of deforming to allow the bracket to be inclined at an angle relative to the vertical direction.
