3D Printing in Orthodontics: Beyond the Hype

Dr. Nivedita Nandeshwar, Dr. Sujoy Banerjee, Dr. Usha Shenoy

Abstract :

Evolving technology and integration of digital solutions in private practice have transformed diagnosis and treatment planning from a traditional two-dimensional (2D) approach into an advanced three-dimensional (3D) technique. 3D printing is a manufacturing technology, in which an object is created by adding a material layer-by-layer one on top of the other in a specific manner, until whole object is manufactured according to computers design. Elimination of traditional impressions and dental cast production enhance practice efficiency, patient and staff satisfaction for a fully integrated digital and streamlined workflow. A digital workflow reduces the number of appointments needed to deliver an appliance. In the future, as 3D printing technology improves, orthodontists may be able to prescribe, design, and manufacture orthodontic products right in their offices.
