Abstract
Coordinated metal and ceramic orthodontic bracket systems () allow a practitioner to insert one or more ceramic brackets () into a metal bracket system (), replacing selected metal brackets (') with ceramic brackets (), and vice-versa. Thus, both a ceramic bracket system () and a metal bracket system () are provided, in which corresponding brackets of each system include substantially identical 'in-out' slot floor cross-sectional thicknesses so that corresponding brackets are interchangeable with each other, without any need for compensating bends or later treatment to correct unintended buccal-lingual tooth movement.
