摘要：
A method for producing a one-piece orthodontic jig and attachments employs a computer-aided design (CAD) system to create a model of a patient's dental anatomy. A set of orthodontic attachments and their desired positions are also designed in the CAD model. An orthodontic jig for temporarily positioning the attachments during the bonding process is then designed that includes features for registering the jig to selected teeth, together with connecting members that detachably connect the attachments to the jig and hold the attachments in their desired position on the patient's teeth during the bonding process. The orthodontic jig and attachments is fabricated as a single piece by computer-controlled manufacturing (e.g., 3D printing) based on the CAD model.
