Abstract:
An orthodontic bracket is described and which includes a base member defining an archwire slot having an opening, and at least one projection extending outwardly from the base member; a ligating slide moveable between a first position which is clear of the archwire slot, and second position where the ligating slide projects over the opening of the archwire slot; and a biasing member borne by the ligating slide, and resiliently cooperating with the projection, and wherein the biasing member has a first portion which receives the projection when the ligating slide is in the first position, and a second portion which receives the projection when the ligating slide is in the second position.

Claim (Index 18):
An orthodontic bracket for coupling an archwire with a tooth comprising:\n a bracket body that is configured to be mounted to the tooth and that includes an archwire slot, an anterior surface, and a recess formed in the anterior surface, the archwire slot and the recess being open in a direction away from a facial surface of the tooth when the bracket body is mounted to the facial surface; a ligating slide that includes a superior end and that is engaged with and movable relative to the bracket body between an opened position and a closed position in which the ligating slide opposes the base surface; and a resilient member that releasably restrains the ligating slide in the closed position, wherein the recess includes a wall that faces the superior end of the ligating slide in the closed position and the recess is configured to receive a tool to contact the superior end of the ligating slide and to move the ligating slide toward the opened position.
