Orthodontic plastic brackets are small, molded attachments bonded to teeth to guide orthodontic wires and appliances, helping to gradually shift tooth position during braces treatment. Designed for single-patient use, they remain in place throughout the entire duration of the alignment process before being discarded.
These devices are typically classified as single-use medical devices and are supplied pre-sterilized for direct patient application. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally subject to standards ensuring biocompatibility and structural integrity for dental use.
