Abstract: The invention relates to a self-ligating-type orthodontic bracket comprising a closure system that combines a U-shaped clip system with guided rigid systems. The inventive bracket comprises two assembled pieces, namely: a first piece, known as the body, which contains the basic elements of any bracket, such as means for fixing or cementing same to the tooth, the arch groove in the mesial-distal direction, flanges for standard wire ligatures or elastomers and novel lateral grooves forming guides on which runners can slide, said runners belonging to the second piece of the bracket, known as the closure element, which essentially comprises the cover, the closure body and said lateral runners.
