Self-ligating bracket for use in orthodontics, has resilient clip having lingual leg that is displaced within slot extending through support, between closed position and open position

摘要

A resilient clip (25) has a lingual leg (26) that is displaced within a slot extending through a support in gingival-to-occlusal direction, between closed position in which the labial leg (27) extends into recess in a gingival wall (5) and open position in which the tip of labial leg rests on the occlusal wall (6). The lingual leg makes an acute angle with respect to the tongue (30) that is bent off in the labial direction.
