A device for tooth-position correction includes a bracket or buccal tube formed from a plastic material by the injection-molding process, having a pad with a concave underside for connection onto the front face of a tooth, and an upper face from which extends an integrally formed mounting and guide element for receiving an arch wire. The underside of the pad is provided with projections having undercuts formed by bars placed on the underside during the injection-molding process. |
