An orthodontic eyelet (12) includes an engaging portion (20) configured
for coupling onto an orthodontic implant (16). A crimpable portion (18)
is coupled to the engaging portion (20) and has first and second
configurations different from one another. In the second configuration
the orthodontic eyelet (12) permits coupling to an orthodontic corrective
device (14). The second configuration may be such that it hinders
rotation of the orthodontic eyelet (12) relative to the orthodontic
implant (16). The second configuration may additionally or alternatively
permit adjustment of a position of the corrective device (14) to which
the orthodontic eyelet (12) is coupled relative to the orthodontic
eyelet. The engaging portion (20) may include an opening defining a first
shape that substantially matches a second shape corresponding to the
orthodontic implant (16). In this regard, the first shape may cooperate
with the second shape to move the orthodontic eyelet (12) and the
orthodontic implant (16) into locking engagement with one another.
