| Sumario: | <p id="p1">Recent developments in scanning technology, virtual modeling, and three-dimensional (3D) printing have made every aspect of fabricating a patient-specific appliance possible in an orthodontic setup. The ability to acquire a real-time 3D diagnostic dataset with an intraoral scan or cone-beam tomography (CBCT) is rapidly changing our practice workflow. While the 3D printing is entering our practice with newer generation of printers rendering accurate, affordable and instant prototypes, it’s one of the clearest strengths is customization. This chapter discuss the patient specific 3D printed orthodontic auxiliaries; digital orthodontic auxiliaries printed using various types of 3D printers highlighting the new era in custom fabricated orthodontic appliances. Several aids to biomechanics are described, including Traction attachment for impacted teeth, mini-implant stent, retraction hooks, bite turbos, bondable retainer strip, attachments for clear aligners and buttons for de-rotation. These auxiliaries seem to be more accurate and efficient than previous techniques.</p> |
