ABSTRACT:
An orthodontic method for treating malocclusion comprising the steps of forming a model of the patient's teeth in the form of a dental arch with the replicas of the teeth in idealized locations, establishing on the labial and buccal surfaces of the replicas locations which conjointly define an idealized dental arch configuration, forming rigid caps of hardenable, plastic material over the crowns of the replicas, affixing to the cap for each replica a bracket orientation module in registry with said established location and utilizing the caps with the respective bracket orientation modules to locate brackets on the corresponding teeth in the patient's mouth in locations corresponding to said established locations.
Bracket orientation modules are provided which are usable to locate precisely brackets on the teeth at the outset of treatment and also to replace any lost or damaged brackets anytime during treatment.
