Abstract: There is provided an orthodontic bracket that does not rely on how an operator is skilled in ligation and can minimize the friction. An orthodontic bracket (30) includes a slot (35) having an opening (35a) into which a wire can be inserted in the vertical direction, and a shutter (32) that can slide to block or unblock the opening. The wire is placed in the slot by causing the shutter to slide and unblock the opening, inserting the wire through the opening, and causing the shutter to slide and block the opening. According to the configuration described above, the wire will not disengage from the slot, whereby rotation control, tipping control, and torque control can be reliably performed. Further, it is not necessary to perform ligation that causes the wire to be securely pressed against the bottom of the slot. Since the ligation is not tight, the tooth in question can be smoothly shifted.
