Fabrication of lingual fixed retainers on 2D prints: testing A novel workflow

Abstract Introduction The aim was to evaluate the feasibility of a novel workflow to produce Lingual Fixed Retainers (LFRs) using 2D prints compared to the conventional method. Methods Twenty-three near-debond orthodontic casts were scanned using an intraoral 3D scanner. A 3D calibration model was p...
