Abstract
An orthodontic bracket is provided to assist in aligning with the occlusal plane in the tooth long axis of a patient's tooth when mounting the bracket on the tooth. The orthodontic bracket has a tie wing recess having a rhomboidal configuration and an archwire slot recess also having a rhomboidal configuration. Vertical sight lines are used to assist in aligning with the tooth long axis and the horizontal sight lines are used to assist in aligning with the occlusal plane. The archwire slot recess also reduces friction between the archwire slot and the archwire.
