1. A bracket for correcting the position of a tooth, comprising a bracket base of a bracket body, the bracket base can be fastened to a tooth, and the bracket body has a slot extending in a mesiodistal direction, the bracket has a first slot portion, a second slot portion, and a third slot portion, and the bracket has a fourth slot portion that narrows by a predetermined amount in a predetermined region, so as to form a snug fit for an inserted archwire, wherein the fourth slot portion is running in a longitudinal direction substantially parallel to the bracket base, the longitudinal direction being perpendicular to the mesiodistal direction,
wherein several straight web-like elevations running alongside one another in the longitudinal direction of the fourth slot channel are formed therein, the elevations ensuring that the archwire does not rest against the slot channel over the entire surface of the slot channel wall but only where the web-like elevations are located.
