Int Orthod. 2009 Mar;7(1):71-95. doi: 10.1016/S1761-7227(09)72459-3. Epub 2009 Apr 15.

Abstract

The patient requirement for tailor-made individualized orthodontic treatment is met by cutting edge, state-of-the art computer-aided design and manufacturing technology (CAD/CAM), in order to efficiently and smoothly merge the two normally separate processes of bracket fabrication and bracket positioning. Also, the specific approach of the lingual orthodontic specialist using an innovative and effective tool to manage almost every incisor positioning is an absolute key to satisfying the patients' demand. Four clinical cases are shown below with a view to illustrating the precise incisor positioning, as requested by the patients.
