Abstract
•Cone-beam computed tomography imaging and 3D printing are applied in a new indirect-direct bonding technique.•Bracket bases remain clean, free of resin or cast material, until they are bonded.•Three-dimensional imaging allows careful control of root axes.
The aim of this article is to introduce a new concept of bracket positioning with special consideration to root axes. Cone-beam computed tomography imaging and computer-aided manufacturing were used to produce stereolithographic trays for indirect-direct bonding.
