GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Italian term or phrase:attacco

Medical - Medical: Dentistry / braces
Italian term or phrase: attacco
From an article comparing different systems for constructing braces.

"L’interesse nei confronti dell’argomento di questo studio è nato in seguito alla constatazione che le apparecchiature preinformate sono quelle più utilizzate a livello internazionale (2) e che la loro ultima evoluzione sono gli ATTACCHI AUTO-LEGANTI che lavorano A BASSA FRIZIONE"

Examples include:
"Attacchi auto-leganti passivi/attivi" eg "il sistema Damon3, gli attacchi Smart Clip, gli attacchi Time2 e il Sistema SPEED"

I had thought of using the term "bracket(s)" but google searches don't seem to produce many hits.

Any suggestions from someone with knowledge of dentistry?

"L'attacco ortodontico attacco ortodontico, componente dell'apparecchio di ortodonzia fissa (bracket) è l'elemento principale dell'apparecchio fisso. Esso presenta una base trattata in maniera tale da permettere l'adesione al dente, e un corpo nel quale sono ricavate due componenti fondamentali: la scanalatura a sezione rettangolare (slot) per l'inserimento di fili metallici e le alette per il trattenimento delle legature necessarie a bloccare i fili nell'attacco."
