Abstract
This paper aims to elucidate how three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has greatly impacted orthodontic practice, marking a significant advancement in planning treatment, fabricating appliances, and patient care. The integration of digital technologies, such as digital cephalogram, digital photography, intraoral and facial scanners, desktop scanners, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and 3D printing, has significantly enhanced the efficiency, accuracy, consistency, and predictability of treatment outcomes. The advent of 3D printing in dental and orthodontic treatment has introduced a new era marked by precision, efficiency, and customised appliances, empowering practitioners to achieve superior results for their patients. Some of its applications in orthodontics include manufacturing clear aligner trays, surgical guides for miniscrew insertion and corticotomy, splints for orthognathic surgery, and retainers.
