ATTACHMENT/CLIP/BASE ASSEMBLY INCLUDING A BASE, INTENDED FOR AN ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCE, AND ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCE COMPRISING SAME

摘要

The invention relates to an assembly formed by: a self-ligating attachment (1) intended to form part of an orthodontic appliance, the external surface of said attachment (1) being provided with a groove (2) for receiving an orthodontic arch; an elastic clip (10) that can be reversibly moved between an open position forming an open passage allowing the insertion of the arch into the groove (2) and a closed position sealing the groove (2); and a base (15) having an external surface (16) that supports the attachment (1) and an occlusal surface (17) which is intended to rest on one of the patient's teeth, so as to hug the surface of the tooth. In addition, the base comprises a support for the attachment (1) and said base (15) assists in the guiding of the clip (10), cooperating with the attachment (2), as the clip (10) moves between the open and closed positions.
