Individualized orthodontic treatment: The Insignia system

Orthodontics (Chic.). 2013;14(1):e88-94. doi: 10.11607/ortho.929.

Abstract

This clinical report presents a case treated by a currently available customized orthodontic treatment system. The use of patient-specific brackets, indirect bonding transfer devices, and customized archwires decreases treatment and chairside time, making orthodontic cases more predictable, accurate, and efficient. The need for time-consuming adjustments is greatly reduced, and appliance customization further facilitates the achievement of the final desired occlusion from the first day of treatment.
