摘要

A method of forming an orthodontic wire from a shape memory material into a target geometry for proper insertion into a patient-specific orthodontic appliance, comprising the steps of: a. Creating a patient-specific target set-up of the patient's upper or lower jaw, b. Placing brackets on teeth to be treated in the target set-up, c. Making a 2dim image of the target set-up with brackets in plan view, d. Loading the image into a data processing system, e. Identifying the location of the slots of the brackets in the figure, f. Export data of the location of the slots from the data processing system, g. Creating a baking mold for the shape memory wire, wherein by means of the data Drahtfixierabschnitte be generated in the baking mold, which hold the wire in the slots corresponding areas during baking, h. Insert the wire into the baking pan and i. Baking the wire.
