Abstract
A convertible orthodontic bracket is disclosed, wherein an archwire slot therein has a removable slot covering, thereby allowing the bracket to serve as a buccal tube during a first stage of treatment and an edgewise bracket during a subsequent phase of treatment. The slot covering is removable by detaching the slot covering from the bracket body along one or more predetermined extents of weakness, wherein each such extent of weakness includes perforations or voids providing a passage between an exterior of the bracket and an interior of the first archwire slot.
