Low profile self-ligating orthodontic brackets and methods of using such
orthodontic brackets. The bracket includes a bracket body, a latching
member, and a hinge pin pivotally coupling a hinged end of the latching
member with the bracket body. The hinge pin, which is made of a resilient
material, is configured to flex so that a portion of the latching member
can be engaged with a recess defined in the bracket body to couple the
non-hinged end of the latching member with the bracket body.
