Abstract: A customized orthodontic bracket system is provided. The system can include a bracket having a customized bracket bonding pad for bonding the bracket to a tooth of a patient and a bracket slot adapted to receive a customized archwire. The customized archwire is adapted to be positioned in the bracket slot to form a precise bracket slot-archwire interface. The bracket slot and the archwire when positioned in the bracket slot can be positioned substantially adjacent the tooth surface to reduce induced vertical error in tooth positioning. The bracket slot can be configured to have a bracket slot width substantially matching a cross-section of the archwire to reduce torque rotation around an axis of the archwire when positioned therein to further enhance end-of-treatment tooth positioning and reduce overall treatment time.

Abstract translation: 提供定制的正畸托架系统。 该系统可以包括具有用于将支架结合到患者牙齿的定制支架接合垫的支架和适于接收定制弓丝的支架槽。 定制的弓丝适于定位在支架槽中以形成精确的支架槽 - 弓丝接口。 当定位在支架槽中时，托架槽和弓丝可以基本上邻近牙齿表面定位，以减少齿定位中的引起的垂直误差。 托架槽可以被配置成具有基本上与弓丝的横截面相匹配的托架槽宽度，以便在定位于其中时减小围绕弓丝的轴线的转矩旋转，以进一步增强治疗结束牙齿定位并减少总体处理时间。
