LED BRACKET FOR ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61C7/36 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment and can be used in dentistry, in particular in orthodontics. Bracket contains case, in whose slots ligature wire is placed. In bracket case placed are light-emitting elements, operating in range of ultraviolet, blue, green, red or infrared irradiation. Irradiation parameters are controlled by microcontroller, which is made in form of microchip.

EFFECT: impact of optic irradiation on the place of bracket fixation on tooth surface ensures effect of superficial bactericidal action, inhibits growth of fungi, leads to conformational rearrangements of protein matrix of enamel and improves its functional properties, enhancing exchange and diffusion processes.
