The bracket further includes a closure member movable between an open position and a closed position including an archwire control structure to enhance rotational control during treatment.

The archwire control structure includes a first projecting portion and a second projecting portion, and a recessed area is defined by the planar surface and first and second projecting portions which overlies the archwire slot when the closure member is in the closed position. A method of correcting malpositioned teeth is also disclosed.
