ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an orthodontic appliance for the treatment of dental malocclusion from the internal sides of teeth, that is, the lingual or palatal side. Brackets are used in the present invention for securing the orthodontic wire, and are provided with grooves so that the orthodontic procedure is carried out by means of the elasticity of the wire. A preshaped orthodontic wire is provided which is arch-shaped along the central incisors, side incisors and canines, linear along the molars and premolars, and where the canines and first premolars meet, it is bent in a crank-shape. Introduction of a crank in the orthodontic wire during manufacture simplifies the orthodontic procedure. Individual slight differences in orthodontic procedure that occur in different persons can be accommodated by slight adjustments of the wire of the invention.
