ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a bracket (1, 21) for an arch wire (6) for correcting malaligned teeth having a saucer-shaped base (2, 22) to be provided on a tooth, a bracket foot (3, 23) seated on the base, and a slot (5, 25) on the upper side of the bracket foot for integrating the arch wire (6). To obtain a small bracket and reduce the danger of the bracket being bitten off, in particular when the brackets are used for teeth in the lower jaw, the invention proposes providing one side wall (4, 24) of the bracket (1, 21), namely the side wall facing the masticatory surface, with a flat outside wall (4, 24) without protruding elements, at least in the area of the slot (5, 25). An apparatus for taking up an attachment aid can be formed in this outside wall, e.g. in the form of a lug (13) or a groove or channel (16) open toward the bracket foot.
