The invention relates to a method for producing an orthodontic appliance intended to be secured to a user's teeth in order to carry out an orthodontic treatment, the appliance having an element, said method having the following steps: a) gathering information relating to said set of teeth; b) using said information to determine at least first and second stable shapes of said element towards which the element should tend to deform during first and second periods of the treatment, respectively, the stable shape towards which said element tends to deform at a given time being called "operational"; c) producing and programming said element in such a way that the application of a stimulus during the first period of the treatment renders said second stable shape operational method in which, in step c), a material that is retractable or expansible under the effect of the stimulus is incorporated into the element. |
