Abstract:
A lingual orthodontic appliance contains a lingual bracket ( 12 ) for an anterior tooth and an archwire ( 20 ). The orthodontic appliance is defined in a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. The archwire ( 20 ) extends in a first and a second dimension of the coordinate system generally U-shaped. In the third dimension the archwire ( 20 ) is generally flat. The archwire ( 20 ) has a rectangular cross-section with a height defined by the longer side of the rectangular cross-section. The height is oriented along the third dimension. The bracket further has a bracket pad ( 2 ) and a bracket body ( 1 ). The bracket body ( 1 ) forms a slot ( 4 ) for receiving the archwire ( 20 ). The slot ( 4 ) is formed by at least two opposing parallel slot side faces and a slot ground face arranged perpendicular thereto. The slot ( 4 ) has a width defined by the distance between the slot side faces. The width matches with the height of the archwire ( 20 ). The invention is advantageous for an orthodontic treatment of teeth requiring good tip and rotation control.

Claim (Index 14):
The lingual orthodontic appliance of  claim 11 , wherein the slot ground face is oriented at an acute angle relative to an occlusal region of the tissue facing surface of the bracket pad.
