摘要 |
The invention relates to an orthodontic component (1), in particular a bracket, with a main body (2) comprising a visible surface (3), a base surface (4) spaced at a distance apart from it and side faces (5 to 8) extending in between. A groove-shaped retaining slot (11) is provided in the main body (2) for accommodating a clamping wire (12) with at least one retaining means (17) for the clamping wire (12) extending into the retaining slot (11). The retaining means (17) is provided in the form of a catch projection (20) formed by providing a longitudinal slot (21) in the main body (2). The longitudinal slot (21) extends from a side wall (22) of the retaining slot (11) into the main body (2), thereby resulting in the elastically deformable catch projection (20).
