Résumé
Traditional working procedures requires a lot of clinical processes and processing time. The orthodontic metal appliances were made by applying oral scanners, digital images, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) printers. The computer digital technology simplified the manufacturing process for dental appliances and shorten the duration for clinical operation and technical processing. The technique described in this paper can guarantee the accuracy of orthodontic appliances and bring revolution the field. The CAD-CAM technology provides a fully digital workflow for manufacturing metal orthodontic appliances, which saves a considerable amount of labor and material costs, and significantly reduces heavy metal pollution in the working environment of dental technicians.
