Axis indicator for orthodontic bracket.

摘要

An axis indicator (100) contains a long rectangular tube (101) placed within the saddle of a dental bracket (10). The indicator contains a projection (110) which is parallel to the archwire slot (40) in the dental bracket (10) and can be aligned parallel to the occlusal plane (2) of the patient. Thus, use of the axis indicator (100) insures proper placement of the dental bracket (10) on the teeth.
