ABSTRACT
Correct brackets positioning is very important for appropriate finishing. The use of CAD/CAM technology in Dentistry today allows brackets virtual positioning and assessment of this position after teeth alignment and leveling. Brackets can therefore be positioned according to their final estimated position. When brackets are bonded in the desired position, a virtual transfer guide is created, and 3D printed. Thus, it is possible to minimize errors, which would require bends in the wires and possibly increase treatment time. The aim of this paper is to describe a clinical case, presenting laboratorial and clinical protocol of a virtual indirect bonding.
