A highly evolved and extremely accurate method for precision bracket placement is described in which vertical and horizontal reference lines are placed on working models to create a visual template for bracket placement. These lines are based upon the concept of coupling defined treatment objectives with the functional requirements of level marginal ridges and canine and incisor guidance. This prescribed method is unique for each individual, and inherently accounts for the eight criteria established by the American Board of Orthodontics for case acceptance. Furthermore, this system ensures the ultimate objective of idealized anterior gingival margin contour and overall excellence in facial esthetics.
