Abstract

Abstract With the advancement of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology, orthodontists are able to design and manufacture customised lingual appliances, which may increase treatment versatility and reduce treatment costs. The present article describes the digital workflows associated with the design and manufacture of customised double-slotted lingual brackets and arch wires. Also demonstrated is the technique’s efficiency through a non-extraction case report. An adult patient with moderate crowding in both arches was successfully treated using 3D-printed customised double-slotted lingual appliances combined with miniscrews and interproximal reduction. The moderate crowding was addressed without incisor proclination despite the non-extraction strategy.

3D 打印定制双槽舌侧矫治器的数字化工作流程：病例报告

摘要随着三维（3D）打印技术的发展，正畸医生能够设计和制造定制的舌侧矫治器，从而提高治疗的多功能性并降低治疗成本。本文介绍了与设计和制造定制双槽舌侧托槽和弓丝相关的数字化工作流程。此外，还通过一个非拔牙病例报告展示了该技术的效率。一位双牙弓中度拥挤的成年患者使用 3D 打印的定制双槽舌侧矫治器，结合微型螺钉和近端间缩小术，成功地治疗了双牙弓中度拥挤。尽管采用了非拔牙策略，但患者的中度牙列拥挤问题并没有得到解决，切牙也没有发生倾斜。

期刊介绍： The Australasian Orthodontic Journal (AOJ) is the official scientific publication of the Australian Society of Orthodontists. Previously titled the Australian Orthodontic Journal, the name of the publication was changed in 2017 to provide the region with additional representation because of a substantial increase in the number of submitted overseas'' manuscripts. The volume and issue numbers continue in sequence and only the ISSN numbers have been updated. The AOJ publishes original research papers, clinical reports, book reviews, abstracts from other journals, and other material which is of interest to orthodontists and is in the interest of their continuing education. It is published twice a year in November and May. The AOJ is indexed and abstracted by Science Citation Index Expanded (SciSearch) and Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition.
