ABSTRACT:
A hybrid orthodontic appliance is provided which may take the form of a bracket and/or tube, and which is fabricated of plastic and metal to be used for mandibular and maxillary tooth adjustments. The plastic part of the appliance enables the appliance to be adhesively attached to the tooth by a strong chemical bond. The metal part of the appliance, on the other hand, provides rigidity for torquing and tipping. The metal part of the appliance is coated with a white epoxy coating, and it is then laminated within a plastic housing making the appliance virtually invisible for aesthetic purposes. The lamination of plastic and metal provides an appliance that does not break under orthodontic forces or under the forces of mastication.
