Abstract:
An orthodontic bracket having a bracket body configured to be mounted to a tooth includes an archwire slot having a base surface defining a base plane and a slide engagement track defining a translation plane. The translation plane is angled with respect to the base plane. A ligating slide is engaged with the slide engagement track of the bracket body and movable along the slide engagement track and parallel to the translation plane between an opened position, in which an archwire is insertable into the archwire slot, and a closed position, in which the archwire is retained within the archwire slot. The translation plane is angled with respect to the base plane so as to prevent the ligating slide from contacting the gingiva surrounding the tooth when the ligating slide is moved to the opened position.

Claim (Index 7):
A self-ligating 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 having a pair of opposed slot surfaces projecting from a base surface, a slide engagement track intersecting one of the opposed slot surfaces, and a receiving portion opening to the slide engagement track; and a ligating slide that includes a projecting portion and that is moveable within the slide engagement track from an opened position to a closed position, wherein the projecting portion is received in the receiving portion during movement of the ligating slide.
