摘要：
An orthodontic bracket (10) for coupling an archwire with a tooth includes a bracket body (12) and a rotatable member. The rotatable member (14) is rotatable between an opened position and a closed position. A retention member (28) secures the rotatable member (14) to the body (12) and a locking mechanism (19) that provides at least one positive stop in the rotation of the rotatable member (14) and that produces a discernible indication when the rotatable member (14) is in at least the closed position. In one closed position, the rotatable member (14) actively ligates the archwire and in the other closed position, the rotatable member (14) passively ligates the archwire. The locking mechanism (19) is separate from the retention member (28) and includes at least one pin (26) that slidably contacts the rotatable member (14). The pin (26) has a longitudinal axis and the retention member (28) has a longitudinal axis. The axis of the pin (26) is oriented perpendicular to the axis of the retention member (28).
