Abstract:
An orthodontic bracket is provided. The orthodontic bracket includes a base part; a bracket body mounted on the base part and having a retaining projection provided on an upper face thereof; a clip having a U-shaped cross-section, the clip being mounted on the bracket body and including an upper part along the upper face of the bracket body, a lower part along a lower face of the bracket body, a curved part therebetween, and an engaging hole provided in the upper part of the clip in a position that corresponds to a position of the retaining projection of the bracket body such that the retaining projection projects through the engaging hole when the clip is in an open position thereon; and an archwire slot in the upper face of the bracket body that extends perpendicular to a moving direction of the clip.

Claim (Index 6):
An orthodontic bracket comprising:\n a base part; a bracket body mounted on the base part; a clip having a U-shaped cross-section, the clip being mounted on the bracket body and comprising an upper part along an upper face of the bracket body, a lower part along a lower face of the bracket body, and a curved part therebetween; an archwire slot in the upper face of the bracket body that extends perpendicular to a moving direction of the clip; an engaging part for receiving a first end of the clip provided on a side face of the archwire slot opposite to the curved part; a guide groove for guiding the lower part of the clip in the moving direction of the clip is provided on the lower face under the archwire slot; a tool guiding face provided at a center of the engaging part in a longitudinal direction of the engaging part; and a space for receiving a tool for opening the clip provided adjacent to the tool guiding face, wherein, in a state of insertion, the lower part is below a bottom face of the archwire slot and a second end of the clip does not pass through an end face of the bracket body at an opposite side from the curved part, wherein a lower extended part of the clip does not extend past the archwire slot in a locked position in which the first end is received into the engaging part, wherein the guide groove is provided underneath the archwire slot such that the guide groove is positioned on a hypothetical line drawn perpendicular to a bottom portion of the archwire slot and passing through the bottom portion of the archwire slot, wherein the second end of the clip is provided with an enlarged width part, and the guide groove is provided, at a side of the curved part, with clip retaining parts that protrude inward from sides of the guide groove such that a distance between the clip retaining parts is smaller than a width of the enlarged width part of the clip.
