摘要

The invention relates to an orthodontic screw and a set of elements for forming an orthodontic or orthopedic appliance for dentistry, as well as a method for making an orthodontic or orthopedic appliance for dentistry. The orthodontic screw (2) comprises two bodies (20) connected by positioning means (21, 22) designed to allow the distance between the bodies (20) to be adjusted; the bodies (20) have a seat (23) adapted to receive a portion (30, 31) of a connection structure (3, 4) associable with the orthodontic screw for its connection to the teeth of a dental arch; the seat (23) consists of a groove (23) formed on an external surface of the bodies (20), so that said portion (30, 31) of said connection structure (3, 4) can be inserted in the seat (23) through a displacement (Y) orthogonal to the same seat (23).
