A METHOD OF MAKING CUSTOMIZED ORTHODONTIC BRACKETS |
| 摘要 |
A method of making customized orthodontic brackets. The method has steps of providing a plurality of customized orthodontic bracket precursors, providing one or more support structures, positioning the bracket precursors by means of the support structure(s) in a machining device and using the machining device to provide an archwire slot in each bracket precursor by material removal with the archwire slots aligned along a common path with each other. The invention helps minimizing efforts in the manufacturing and provides the brackets with a precise archwire slot. |

1. A method of making customized orthodontic brackets, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a plurality of individually shaped customized orthodontic bracket precursors; providing one or more support structures; positioning the bracket precursors with the support structure(s) in a machining device; using the machining device to provide an archwire slot in each bracket precursor by material removal with the archwire slots aligned along a common path with each other, and thereby provide a plurality of brackets; and separating the support structure(s) and the brackets from each other. |
