A method applying orthodontic brackets that employ a bracket pad. The pad has a pad portion conforming to the surface of the tooth and has two laterally spaced indexing tabs integrally connected to the pad portion for bending over the tooth. An orthodontic bracket is mounted on the pad and the pad is positioned on a model of the patient's tooth so as to align the bracket as prescribed by the orthodontists. The index tabs are bent over the tooth, the pad is then burnished, and the tab ends are welded together to memorize the shape of the tooth. The pad is bonded to the patient's tooth and the index tabs are removed.
