ABSTRACT
Accuracy of a lingual indirect bonding system
using a 3D virtual program
Recently, 3D virtual setup program, a highly advanced computer-driven system has been
used in indirect bonding, enabling customized patient treatment. It can decrease the number of
steps in the existing manual setup used for indirect bonding, saving laboratory time. In
addition, individual jigs for indirect bonding can be manufactured by the 3D virtual program
based on the virtual setup model. However, it is unclear if this new system is more accurate
than conventional methods because only a few studies have evaluated the accuracy of such
cutting-edge bracket bonding techniques.
We aimed to evaluate the accuracy of bracket placement for lingual indirect bonding
techniques when a 3D virtual setup system (3TxerTM; Orapix, Seoul, Korea) is used in vitro.
Four variables—torque, depth, tip, and height—were measured in order to evaluate the
difference between virtual and actual bracket positions. A 3D program (Rapidform 2006TM;
Inus Technology, Seoul, Korea) via a superimposition process was used for this purpose. The
results of this study were as follows.
v
1. All variables showed significant differences between the virtual and actual bracket positions
(P < 0.001).
2. The mean values of the absolute torque, depth, tip, and height error were 4.84° ± 3.33°, 0.33
mm ± 0.22 mm, 1.39° ± 1.05°, and 0.35 mm ± 0.27 mm, respectively.
3. For all variables, the difference between the right and left and the maxilla and mandible was
not significant.
4. There was significant difference in torque between the 2-piece jig group (incisors, canines,
and second premolars) and 1-piece jig group (first and second molars) (P < 0.001).
Errors might occur during fabrication of the customized resin base or silicone transfer trays
because these processes are executed manually. Therefore, control of manual laboratory
procedures is a key factor for successful virtual indirect bonding along with the accuracy of
digitations of plaster models. Clinically, in the final stage of treatment, wire bending, re-setup
of the models, or re-bonding of the brackets may be required. Further studies are needed to
improve the virtual indirect bonding system discussed in this study.

I. Introduction
Precise bracket bonding is essential for improving the final outcomes of orthodontic
treatment. There are two bonding methods: a direct and an indirect method. Some authors
report no difference between these methods in terms of accuracy and bonding strength
(Hocevar and Vincent, 1988; Hodge et al., 2001; Milne et al., 1989). However, the indirect
bonding method has many advantages such as patient comfort, facility to rebond brackets,
overcorrection, in/out control, and reduced use of staff and chair time (Kalange, 2004). In
lingual orthodontics, in particular, the indirect bonding technique is useful because it is better
for working with an irregular lingual surface with limited access, short clinical crown length,
sloped lingual surface, and tongue interference, all of which contribute to inaccurate bracket
bonding (Geron, 1999).
2
Laboratory techniques for the indirect bonding method have been developed over the past
30 years. Sondhi (1999) reported a new indirect bonding method using a transfer tray with
BioplastTM and Transbond XT, and some researchers use a silicone transfer tray with a
chemical curing resin (Sondhi, 1999). Recently, highly advanced computer-driven systems
have been developed for indirect bonding, enabling customized patient treatment. SureSmile®
(Orametrix, Inc., Richardson TX) is one such system; it captures vivo images of the dentition
in real time, and the images are then manipulated in a 3D digital diagnostic setup (Muller-
Hartwich et al., 2007; Sachdeva et al., 2005). In a technology system similar to OrthoCAD®
(Cadent, Inc., Carlstadt, NJ), plaster models are sent to a processing department, and
stereolithography is used to create a digital model. From these digital models, bracket
positioning can be established using a pen-sized wand, a miniature video camera, and LEDs
that enable the virtual setup (Redmond et al., 2004). For example, Mujagic and coworkers
(2005) created custom gold alloy lingual brackets that were indirectly bonded with the
Lingualcare® (Lingualcare Inc., Dallas, TX) system.
Computerized 3D virtual models are currently available and used to calculate many
diagnostic measurements. Digital models can solve many problems and difficulties associated
3
with the storage, retrieval, reproduction, communication, and breakage of conventional plaster
casts. The accuracy of digital models is acknowledged by many authors, and these models are
used to assess the American Board of Orthodontics objective grading system (ABO OGS).
There is also no significant difference in measurements of the overjet, overbite, space analysis,
and the Bolton ratio obtained by digital models and those obtained using plaster casts (Leifert
et al., 2009; Okunami et al., 2007; Santoro et al., 2003).
In addition, virtual setup and bracket positioning can be incorporated into the indirect
bonding method using digital models. For example, the InsigniaTM system (Ormco, CA) uses
the CAD/CAM program and 3D ApproverTM (Cadent, Inc., Carlstadt, NJ) program, which
enables individual tooth setup and produces customized brackets and wires.
Recently, a new 3D dental scanning and virtual setup program was developed (3TxerTM;
Orapix, Seoul, Korea). Fabricated dental casts are scanned with a 3D dental laser scanner, and
3D analysis of digital models is performed using the 3DxerTM program. 3TxerTM enables 3D
virtual setup according to a treatment plan. It can reduce the stages of existing manual setup
for indirect bonding, reducing laboratory time. In addition, individual jigs for indirect bonding
can be manufactured by the 3D virtual program based on virtual setup models. Recently, this
4
3D virtual setup system has begun to be used in lingual orthodontics. However, it is unclear if
this new system is more accurate than the conventional methods for bracket positioning
because only a few studies have evaluated the accuracy of such cutting-edge bracket bonding
techniques.
We aimed to evaluate the accuracy of bracket placement for lingual indirect bonding
techniques using a 3D virtual setup system in vitro.

II. Materials and Methods
1. Inclusion criteria
The sample consisted of 5 patients who needed their upper and lower first premolars
extracted because of mild crowding and dental protrusion. None had tooth size discrepancy,
congenital missing teeth, or abnormalities of the lingual surface. All teeth were bonded with a
lingual appliance, Clippy L® (Tomy, Fukushima, Japan).
2. Methods (Fillion, 2010; Fillon, 2007)
1) Laser scanning of plaster models (Fig. 1, A)
Plaster models were first scanned with an Orapix scanner at a precision level of ±20
microns. The data from the scanner was used to visualize the 3D images. Scanning conditions
and occlusion of digital models were checked by clinicians.
2) Analysis and treatment planning
Model analysis, including tooth measuring, space analysis, and calculation of the Bolton
index was performed with the 3DxerTM program. A treatment plan was established by using
6
this mode of analysis, x-rays, and other diagnostic tools. Teeth to be extracted, anchor type,
and amount of stripping were decided in this step.
3) Segmentation and normalization of individual teeth (Fig. 1, B)
The dental arch was sectioned into individual dental units, and the axes of each dental unit
were determined using the normalization procedure.
4) 3D virtual setup and bracket positioning (Fig. 1, C–E)
First, the arch form was selected and modified for individual dental arches. Selected teeth
were extracted, and the anterior and posterior teeth were moved along with the selected wire.
Automatic alignment and group movement of teeth is possible in this program. After this
automatic procedure, the teeth were manually adjusted in all directions so that they were in the
final desired position. Finally, occlusion was checked from the posterior view, and the
collision test can be used in this step. The lingual appliance was selected, and bracket
positioning was automatically performed with the 3TxerTM program. Contact points of the
brackets with the surface of the teeth and opposing teeth were adjusted manually.
7
5) Construction of individual jigs and silicone transfer trays. (Fig. 2, A–C)
The Rapid-Prototype-Machine was used to construct individual jigs with resin for
transferring the brackets. The jigs were constructed in 2 parts, and they were bonded to a
plaster model to make an individual bracket resin base. For the posterior teeth, a tube is
usually used for posterior bonding; therefore, posterior jigs were designed using an
intervening wire in order to engage the tube. Silicone transfer trays (Heat-molten polymer of
ethylene vinyl acetate) were made for transferring the brackets to the mouth.
6) Indirect bonding procedure (Fig. 2, D–F)
Lingual brackets were bonded to the plaster initial models with sealant resin (Excel®). The
impression was taken off the plaster models with silicone rubber impression material divided
into 3 pieces. Hard plaster models were fabricated, and bracket slots or undercuts were
removed. The models were scanned with a laser scanner.
7) Superimposition of actual and virtual bracket positioning (Fig. 2, G–H)
Virtual and actual bracket positions were superimposed according to the tooth surface, and
8
the difference between them was measured based on that bracket base. The differences in 4
variables (torque, depth, tip, and height) between virtual and actual bracket positions were
measured with Rapidform 2006® (Inus Technology, Seoul, Korea) (Fig. 3–6). Each difference
was considered as the error of the bracket position. To evaluate the reliability and
reproducibility of the experiment, the 4 variables were measured twice for one sample at 2-
week intervals.
3. Statistical Analysis
SPSS software (version 12.0, SPSS, Chicago, III) was used for statistical analysis. To assess
measurement reliability, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was computed for each
measured variable. Means and standard deviations of the difference between the virtual and
actual bonded bracket positions were calculated. These differences were considered errors of
torque, depth, tip, and height. The data were analyzed with a paired t-test, one-way ANOVA,
and a Scheffe test at the .05 level of significance.

III. RESULTS
Intraclass correlation ranged from r = 0.85 to 0.99 (P < .001). Measurements of all variables
were highly reliable.
The largest absolute torque error occurred in the maxillary first molar area (6.57° ± 2.99°),
and the mean of torque errors was 4.84° ± 3.33°. The greatest absolute depth (resin base
thickness) error occurred in the mandibular second premolar area (0.65 mm ± 0.03 mm), and
the mean of depth errors was 0.33 mm ± 0.22 mm. The largest tip error occurred in the
maxillary canine area (2.45° ± 0.64°), and the mean was 1.39° ± 1.05°. The greatest absolute
height error was in the mandibular lateral incisor area (0.43 mm ± 0.08 mm), and the mean
was 0.35 mm ± 0.27 mm (Tables 1–4.). All variables were significantly different between the
virtual and actual bracket bonded positions (P < .001).
There was no significant difference between the right and left and the maxilla and mandible
for all variables but there was significant difference in torque according to jig types (P <
0.001). The 2-piece jig (incisors, canines, and second premolars) and the 1-piece jig group
(first and second molars) showed significant difference in torque (P < 0.001) (Table 5.).

. DISCUSSIONⅣ
All variables showed significant differences between virtual and actual bracket positions (P
< 0.001), which suggested inaccuracy of the virtual indirect bonding system. This might be a
result of several steps that were needed for the indirect bonding system. If the tooth surface of
a crowned area cannot be scanned accurately, transfer jigs produced from such virtual setup
data can be inaccurate. To reduce such scanning errors, a prosthodontic digital scanner at a
precision level of ±10 µm was used for experimental hard plaster model scanning. In
addition, the detail and accuracy of RP products reconstructed from digital data may not be
sufficient for certain applications when standard stereolithography techniques are used. The
RP technique can also introduce errors due to model shrinkage during building and post-
curing (Keating et al., 2008). Therefore, the adaptability of transfer jigs should be checked
before the bonding procedure. Other errors may occur during the fabrication of a customized
resin base or silicone transfer trays because these processes are executed manually. Control of
these manual errors is a key factor for successful virtual indirect bonding.
During the bonding procedure in the clinical setting, orthodontists can also make some
errors by using excess bonding materials or positioning trays incorrectly. The severity of errors
20
are various and difficult to predict. Such errors are the main disadvantage of the virtual
indirect bonding system. Despite errors in bracket positions, the new indirect bonding system
is clinically valuable. In the 018 slot orthodontic appliance, the 017*025 wire demonstrates
4.1° play. The mean torque difference was 4.84° ± 3.33°, and the tip difference was 1.39° ±
1.05°; these errors may be controlled with finishing wire bending. The mean depth difference
(0.33 mm ± 0.22 mm) was in acceptable ranges because only sealant resin materials were used
for bonding. Height errors may occur due to the malpositioning of transfer trays.
The largest torque error of the lingual and labial indirect bonding system using existing
manual procedure was 4.6° ± 2.5°(Shpack et al., 2007). This is comparable with results of this
paper.
There was no significant difference in tip and height according to tooth positions. The 2-
piece jig (incisors, canines, and second premolars) and 1-piece jig group (first and second
molars) showed significant differences in torque (P < 0.001) because different transfer jig
types were used. The 1-piece jigs were fabricated with an orthodontic wire that may rotate
during the bonding procedure. These results suggest the advantages and disadvantages of the
virtual indirect bonding system.
21
With the 3D virtual program, orthodontists can visualize many treatment options and decide
a proper treatment plan. Tooth size discrepancy, overjet/overbite, molar and canine key at the
final occlusion are easy to check in this program without the use of a complicated manual
setup procedure or occlusogram.
The main advantages of this new indirect bonding system are that it simplifies the technical
procedure and reduces time. This system enables a simple and rapid model setup that can be
easily modified. In addition, the virtual setup can serve as a communication tool with patients
or other clinicians. Also, virtual bracket bonding and fabrication of individual jigs can be
easily executed. CAD/CAM technologies facilitate this virtual setup and manufacturing
system. Many commercial brackets and wires in the software database can be used
individually.
The main problem with a virtual setup is technical sensitivity. The setup procedure is quite
simple but the result of the final setup depends on the operator. In addition, although the goal
is to set up the model three dimensionally, the virtual model on a computer screen can handle
only two dimensions, possibly leading to errors in alignment and occlusion. Therefore,
clinicians have to carefully check the alignment and final occlusion with a collision test. The
22
changes in tooth positions (torque, tip, and height) from initial to final should be checked for
the ideal setup. During virtual bracket positioning, the user must avoid penetrating the bracket
base through the tooth surface and avoid contact with the bracket margin and dentition of the
opposite arch; this can cause incorrect bracket positioning and bonding failure.
In addition, the quality of the initial impression is a key factor in this system. A silicone
rubber impression is recommended for this procedure. The accuracy of silicone rubber
impression has been provided at a precision level of 20 µm in ISO 4823. In addition, the
precision level of the laser scanner is approximately ±10 microns but representation of the
tooth contact area or undercut of the tooth is still limited. These problems with 3D dental
scanning need to be improved.
Further studies should focus on improving scanning methods and eliminating the manual
process of indirect bonding. Fabrication of a customized bracket base or a customized bracket
with CAD/CAM system requires new technologies.
23
. CONCLUSIONⅤ
Errors might occur during fabrication of the customized resin base or silicone transfer trays
because these processes are executed manually. In fact, some errors in all variables were found
in this study. Therefore, control of manual laboratory procedures is a key factor for successful
virtual indirect bonding along with the accuracy of digitations of plaster models. Clinically, in
the final stage of treatment, wire bending, re-setup of the models, or re-bonding of the
brackets may be required. Further studies are needed to improve the virtual indirect bonding
system.

교정장치 부착의 정확성을 향상시키기 위해 다양한 방법으로 간접부착법이 발
전되어 왔으며 최근에는 컴퓨터 프로그램을 이용한 개별화된 치료가 개발되고 있
다. 컴퓨터 프로그램을 이용한 간접부착법이 간편하고 시간을 단축할 수 있는 장
점을 가지고 있으나 교합접촉이나 치아배열 등을 눈으로 직접 확인할 수 있는 기
존의 방법과 비교하여 정확성이 떨어질 수 있다는 지적이 있으며 jig 제작과 부착
에 있어서 다양한 오차가 발생할 수 있으므로 이러한 문제점을 파악하는 것이 중
요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 3D 가상 프로그램을 이용한 3차원 가상 모형 제작 및
이를 이용한 설측교정에서의 간접부착법의 정확성을 실험적으로 평가하고자 하였
으며 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다.
1. 가상 프로그램상의 교정장치의 위치와 실제로 부착한 교정장치의 위치를 중
첩하여 torque, depth, tip, height의 오차를 측정한 결과 4가지 변수 모두에
서 유의차를 보였다 (P<0.001).
2. 각 계측치에서의 오차의 평균값은 torque는 4.84° ± 3.33°, depth는 0.33
mm ± 0.22 mm, tip은 1.39° ± 1.05°, height은 0.35 mm ± 0.27 mm 였다.
27
3. 상/하악과 좌/우측에서는 변수별 유의차가 관찰되지 않았다.
4. Torque에서 2-piece jig 그룹(전치, 견치, 제2소구치)과 1-piece jig 그룹(제
1,2 대구치) 사이에 통계학적 유의차가 관찰되었다(P<0.001).
제작된 jig를 이용하여 resin base를 형성하는 과정에서 기공작업으로 인한 오
차가 발생할 수 있으며 이는 가상프로그램을 이용한 간접부착술의 정확성을 감소
시키는 주된 요인이다. 본 연구에서 실제로 다양한 수준의 오차가 관찰되었으나
이러한 오차는 치료 마지막 단계에서 수정이 가능하다. 정확한 모델 스캔 및 장치
부착이 가상프로그램을 이용한 간접부착법의 성공을 위해 중요하다. 본 연구를 통
해 밝혀진 문제점의 개선과 함께 정확성을 향상시키기 위한 연구들이 뒷받침된다
면 가상프로그램을 이용한 교정진단 및 치료영역에서 더 많은 발전을 기대할 수
있을 것이다.
