ABSTRACT:
An orthodontic bracket of the edgewise type including a single tie wing having a labially facing archwire slot and a scoopout or pocket along the archwire slot axis formed so that the archwire slot is interrupted centrally of the tie wing so as to reduce the friction between the archwire and the bracket along the longitudinal axis of the archwire. The tie wing may optionally include one or more notches at the edges of the tie wing tips wherein the notches are sized to receive an elastomeric ligature.
