Abstract: The invention relates to a lingual bracket for correcting the position of teeth, comprising a bracket base, which can be secured on the lingual side to a front or canine tooth, and comprising a bracket body, the bracket having a slot, which extends in the mesial-distal direction, delimited on the lingual side as well as on the gingival and occlusal sides, and which is intended for accommodating an archwire. In order to develop the bracket in such a way that an archwire can be easily inserted into the slot, by which even relatively small directional forces may be reproducibly exerted on the tooth and the risk of root resorption can be kept low, the slot is delimited on the gingival side by the bracket base and on the occlusal and lingual sides by the bracket body. Furthermore, a bracket system comprising a front or canine tooth bracket of this type and comprising a side tooth bracket is provided.
