Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) metal printing of customized orthodontic appliances is at the
cutting edge of orthodontic technology. Different additive techniques, as well as
materials, have been employed in order to directly 3D metal print an orthodontic appliance.
The potential advantages of 3D metal printed appliances include greater treatment
efficiency, increased patient's comfort, reduced orthodontic appointments, and reduced
workflow steps, thus reducing the chances of error and resulting in a more accurate
fit and better standardization. This article aims to describe the current trends,
biomaterials, workflows and clinical implications of metal 3D printing, in order to
aid clinicians in gaining some insight into this novel technology and to allow for
greater incorporation in contemporary digital orthodontic workflows.
