Prescription-altering accessories for use with orthodontic brackets to modify the corrective forces applied to the teeth by orthodontic bracket assemblies that include the orthodontic bracket. The orthodontic bracket assemblies may include specialized orthodontic brackets that are designed and/or configured for use with the prescription-altering accessories. Additionally or alternatively, the orthodontic bracket assemblies may be configured for use with traditional orthodontic brackets, such as by being operatively attached thereto. The prescription-altering accessories may be configured to generate a modifying force to alter any suitable tip, torque, rotation, and/or step corrective force that may be applied to one or more teeth within a dental arch to improve, or otherwise modify, the occlusion of the one or more teeth. The prescription-altering accessories may be configured to alter the corrective force without removal and/or modification of an installed archwire and/or without removal and/or replacement of installed orthodontic brackets.
