Abstract
The disclosure relates to an orthodontic system and treatment method, including an arrangement of orthodontic brackets against the patient's teeth such that the depth of the respective archwire slots of the brackets generally increases from the anterior teeth moving toward the posterior teeth. The gradual increase of the archwire slot in the bracket arrangement provides for finer control over the movement of the anterior teeth, while providing sufficient control and freedom of movement for the posterior teeth.
