ABSTRACT:
An orthodontic appliance includes a bracket having a front face provided with a rectangular recess for receiving an archwire and rear face for attachment to a tooth or backing plate with an intermediate segment defining a peripheral groove having a pair of base surfaces which are curved about a common axis for receiving supplemental or primary archwires; the body is provided with a rear segment including a through channel for receiving a retaining pin which has a head for cooperation with a notch formed in the front face; the recess of the front face is angled in two directions to increase the variability of the forces that can be applied to the subjacent tooth in practice.
