The 3D Metal Printed Orthodontic Appliance

In his lecture, Simon Graf demonstrates the way that he was able to develop a standardized procedure for virtual designed and direct 3D metal printed orthodontic appliances. He will go through the process step by step for a rapid palatal expanding device. If there's enough time, he will show other possibilities for direct metal printing in orthodontics and present a small glimpse into the orthodontic future from his point of view.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the basics in "re-thinking" to design virtual appliances.
• Use 3D metal printed orthodontic appliances.
• Start your own first steps in 3D metal printing for orthodontic appliances.
