Individually tailored lingual orthodontic bracket and method for manufacturing same bracket

2014 
The present invention relates to an individually tailored lingual orthodontic bracket and a method for manufacturing the bracket and, more particularly, to an individually tailored lingual orthodontic bracket and a method for manufacturing the bracket, wherein a bracket base, which is used for lingual orthodontics, is cast to manufacture a bracket, which is tailored to individual teeth of a patient, such that the bracket can be attached in an accurate position during an orthodontic procedure, without falling off from the teeth, thereby improving the orthodontic efficiency. Provided are a manufacturing method and a bracket fabricated by the manufacturing method, the method comprising: cutting individual teeth from a malocclusion model, which has been modeled on the patient, and rearranging them in an ideal position; fabricating a set-up model and replicating the set-up model; performing pin work on the replicated set-up model and expanding the base of the bracket using a resin to prepare casting; injecting an investment into a casting ring, which has been prepared for casting, to be invested; and burning out the resin and casting the melted material.
