Abstract:
An orthodontic bracket having a bracket pad ( 2 ), and a bracket body ( 1 ) extending from the bracket pad. The bracket has a slot ( 4 ) for receiving an orthodontic archwire. The slot has a proximal slot side face ( 4 a ), a distal side face ( 4 b ) and a slot ground face ( 4 c ). The bracket has at least one archwire support structure ( 5 a,  5 b ) that forms a support surface ( 6 a,  6 b ) in a plane of the slot ground face. The support surface is spaced from the slot ground face. The archwire support structure forms a flat and protrudes in a dimention generally parallel to a slot cross axis. The invention help maximizing the tip control in an orthodontic treatment.

Claim (Index 1):
An orthodontic bracket comprising a bracket pad, and a bracket body extending from the bracket pad, the bracket having a slot for receiving an orthodontic archwire, the slot extending through the bracket body along an archwire axis and having a proximal slot side face and a distal side face, the proximal side face being arranged closer to the pad than the distal side face, and wherein the proximal and distal side face extending parallel to the archwire axis and further parallel to an archwire insertion axis that is perpendicular to the archwire axis, the slot further having a slot ground face that extends parallel to the archwire axis and further parallel to a slot cross axis that is perpendicular to the archwire axis and the archwire insertion axis, wherein the bracket has at least one archwire support structure that forms a support surface in a plane of the slot ground face and spaced from the slot ground face, and wherein the archwire support structure forms a flat and protrudes in a dimension generally parallel to the slot cross axis.
