ABSTRACT:
A method of constructing an orthodontic appliance to be placed in a patient's mouth so as to effect desired tooth repositioning which includes the steps of initially making an impression of the patient's malocclusion and repositioning the teeth of the model so as to form an ideal model. A template is fabricated in accordance with the ideal model to properly position orthodontic brackets upon the ideal model so as to, in effect, ideally position the brackets relative to the teeth of the ideal model as well as with respect to each other. The brackets are then transferred from the ideal model to the patient's teeth with the aid of a transfer registration mold. The template is also used to guide fabrication of ideal arch wires which are to be selectively secured to the brackets at various stages of orthodontic treatment. A resilient finisher, also constructed in accordance with the ideal model, is adapted to be fixedly secured to the brackets disposed upon the teeth of the patient in order to accomplish finishing tooth movements.
