An orthodontic bracket (10) for coupling an archwire (18) having a ligature (120) to a tooth includes a bracket body (12) configured to be mounted to the tooth, the bracket body (12) including an archwire slot (16) opened to one side of the bracket body (12) and adapted to receive the archwire (18) therein. At least two tie wings (40, 42, 44, 46) extend from the bracket body (12), the at least two tie wings (40, 42, 44, 46) each having a tip region (50, 52, 54, 56) and an under tie wing region (60, 62, 64, 66), and the under tie wing region is configured to receive the ligature (120). The under tie wing regions (60, 62, 64, 66) each include a curvature in a plane parallel to a longitudinal axis of the archwire slot (16) and extending in the same direction that the archwire slot (16) opens at a location adjacent an outer end of the under tie wing region (60, 62, 64, 66).
