This Mei Ceramic Bracket is intended for the orthodontic movement of teeth. It is used temporarily and is removed after orthodontic treatment has been completed. The devices are intended to be single use only.

The proposed device, Mei Ceramic Bracket, consists of ceramic orthodontic brackets which are bonded to teeth to apply pressure to the tooth, transmitted through a flexible orthodontics wire, to alter the tooth position. The ceramic bracket is produced using Al203, translucent polycrystalline aluminum oxide (99.99%). The brackets are bonded to the teeth with commercially available materials and linked together by "arch wire" that applies steady, gentle pressure to produce desired tooth movement.
