ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for creating an orthodontic archform wherein the bracket archwire slots are level to one another. The method includes setting up separated model teeth in a straight line on a setup fixture to locate the brackets in a level position on the model teeth, transferring the model teeth and brackets to an alignment fixture, and positioning them in a curved arrangement defining an archform. An archwire can then be formed in the bracket slots either manually or by inserting and clamping the archwire in the slots and heat treating the archwire in an oven.
