A monolithic metallic self-ligating bracket with a locking catch device is provided. The bracket includes a base, at least one tie wing and at least one locking catch device placed on one surface of the base. A slot in the middle of the tie wing extends in a generally mesial-distal direction. One end of a trailing arm connects with the base, and the other end of the trailing arm extends transversely toward the axis to form an arm tip, the inner edge of the trailing arm and arm tip towards the axis, together with the slot form an archwire concave. After the arch wire is inserted to the archwire concave, the locking catch device returns to its original shape, and the arm tip extending into the archwire concave of the locking catch device enclasps the arch wire, making the best use of the therapeutic force of the archwire. |
