The plurality of brackets include an upper bicuspid bracket, an upper cuspid bracket, an upper lateral bracket, an upper central bracket, a lower bicuspid bracket, a lower cuspid bracket, and a lower anterior bracket. Each of the plurality of brackets includes a 0.020 inch width slot aligned at a selected torque angle for receiving the rectangular wire therein. The upper central bracket applies any actual torque force to an upper central tooth in a range of actual torque forces from about 0.degree. to about +10.degree.. The upper lateral bracket applies any actual torque force to an upper lateral tooth in a range of actual torque forces from about 0.degree. to about +6.degree.. The upper cuspid bracket applies any actual torque force to an upper cuspid tooth in a range of actual torque forces from about 4.degree. to about +4.degree.. The upper bicuspid bracket applies any actual torque force to an upper bicuspid tooth in a range of actual torque forces from about 0.degree. to about -5.degree..
