Desenho Digital do Arco Ideal (DIAD): descrição da técnica

Abstract

O objetivo desse artigo é apresentar um método simplificado para confecção do arco ideal através de um setup virtual, no qual cada braquete irá apresentar um pad fino o suficiente para regularizar a superfície lingual dos dentes, independentemente da forma do arco utilizado — arco reto, cogumelo, árvore de Natal ou misto —, proporcionando tratamentos confortáveis, biológicos e com melhor controle mecânico.

Lingual orthodontics: perfect union of aesthetic treatment with biomechanical efficiency: a case report

“…Among the proposed treatments, the patient chose to use a lingual orthodontic appliance (individualized prescription) to distalize the upper and lower teeth with the aid of temporary anchorage devices (mini-screw). Therefore, the removal of the third molars was requested to begin the digital setup process and individualization of the brackets using the DIAD system described by Cardoso in 2019 2 and updated in 2023. s a result, indirect bonding of all teeth was performed, except for the lower incisors using the KommonBase 4 technique. The process of aligning and leveling the upper dental arch occurred with the following sequence of wires: 0.010" Niti; 0.012"TMA; 0.014" TMA; 0.016" TMA; 0.018" TMA; 0.016" X 0.016"TMA; 0.016 X 0.022" TMA; and 0.016" X 0.022" steel (Figure 8).…”
