Computer-Aided Designing and Manufacturing of Lingual Fixed Orthodontic Appliance Using 2D/3D Registration Software and Rapid Prototyping

Figure 6

3D KILBON appliance in the CAD software, occlusal photograph and lateral cephalograms. Positional accuracy and rigidity of each design were evaluated by comparing the planned design on the 3D model with a new occlusal photograph and by superimposing a new lateral cephalogram on the initial cephalogram containing design information in the 3Txer software.
