Publication number: 20040197726Abstract: A clip type anchor for orthodontic treatment comprises piercing portions for piercing a skin and fitting a bone, and a connection portion connecting the piercing portions to each other. The connection portion biases the piercing portions toward the bone. A connection portion is substantially U-like shaped, and piercing portions fit an inside and an outside of an alveolar bone, thereby fixing the anchor to the alveolar bone. In an anchor comprising piercing portions for piercing a skin and fitting a bone, and a connection portion connecting the piercing portions to each other, the connection portion biases the piercing portions so as to either increase or decrease a distance between the piercing portions.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2003Publication date: October 7, 2004Inventors: Shouichi Miyawaki, Isao Koyama, Teruko Yamamoto
