Proposed is a method and apparatus for forming an orthodontic bracket for use with an orthodontic archwire involving shaping a length of material to form at least two enlarged portions and a base member, the base member being intermediate two arm members and the respective enlarged portions having a thickness that is thicker than the thickness of the base member; bending the length of material at the respective enlarged portions; and coining the respective enlarged portions, such that portions of the arm members define a channel to receive a portion of the orthodontic archwire.
