Abstract
An orthodontic device consisting of a bracket having a slot formed by arm parts facing each other in the vertical direction, and an inner part having a socket for holding a wire. The orthodontic device is characterized in that the opening of the slot is closed by inserting the inner part into the slot so that the inner part can be held by the arm parts. Different torque depending on the socket can be applied to a tooth. A desired torque can be applied by only changing the inner part without changing the bracket.
