Kind Code:

Abstract:
A self-ligation type dentition-correcting bracket assembly is disclosed. The disclosed self-ligation type dentition-correcting bracket assembly has a ligation slide movably installed on a bracket body so as to expose/cover a slot provided such that a tooth-correcting wire is seated on the bracket body, and comprises a clamping portion for constraining the bracket body and the ligation slide in a complementary manner. The clamping portion comprises a pin member provided on the bracket body and arranged in the range of movement of the ligation slide and a retainer provided on the ligation slide such that the same can be coupled to the pin member in a complementary manner. In connection with the bracket assembly, the retainer and the pin member are attached to/detached from each other in a complementary manner as the ligation slide moves, and ligation of the wire, which is inserted into the slot, and release thereof occur selectively. According to the configuration described above, the operation of a dentition-correcting arch wire ligation slide can be manipulated in a one-touch type and thus can be handled easily and conveniently. As a result, not only can the efficiency and effect of dentition-correcting treatment and surgery be improved, but economical and precise fabrication is also possible, thereby improving the quality, reliability, stability, and durability.
