The irregularity of the lingual teeth surfaces does not allow for the manufacture of a lingual straight wire appliance. The procedure comprises customization of the bracket by adding dental composite onto the bracket\u2019s base. Traditionally, the technique is performed in a laboratory with the help of plaster models, wires, physical brackets, positioning keys, jigs etc<sup>1<\/sup>. For the first time a CAD software, named Deltaface Ubrackets\u00ae (Coruo, Limoges, France), enables the Orthodontist to perform an in-house digital virtual bracket base customization (labial or lingual) and transfer the customized brackets to the patient using a 3D printed indirect bonding (IDB) tray<sup>2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<h2 class=\"h2\">Materials and Methods<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1627391366765\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>Full records including 3D intraoral scan were taken from a 25 old healthy male. The scan was imported in UBrackets\u00ae software and digital set-up was done. Continuously, automatic placement of DTC\u00ae virtual lingual brackets (Hangzhou DTC, China) was done. Using various manipulators (mesiodistal, labiolingual, rotational) the brackets were positioned in an ideal position (Fig. 1). Virtual extrusion of the brackets\u2019 bases was done towards the teeth surface. The extrusion represented the exact amount of composite that would be added on the brackets bases to create the customized brackets (Fig. 2). At the end, export of the IDB tray, the archwire and the models was done. The exported wire was used as a prototype to bend all the sequential archwires.
