In a preferred embodiment of the invention, an interface attachment device which is customized on one side for placement on a patient's tooth surface and locked on to the bottom or base of a bracket on the other side is disclosed. The combination of the interface attachment device and the bracket is bonded to the surface of a tooth for an orthodontic treatment of the patient. One or more interface attachment devices, with or without brackets, can be precisely placed and bonded to the corresponding surfaces of one or more teeth of a patient using a tooth attachment placement device created for the patient.The locking mechanism between the interface attachment and the bracket can be (a) form-locked, i.e. male/female arrangement, (b) friction-locked (i.e. using spring, magnetism, shape memory phase shift, shrinkage, etc.), (c) combination of (a) and (b), or (d) any other type. The interface attachment can be attached to the tooth surface by any kind of adhesive or composite material.The interface attachment device can be manufactured using generative manufacturing technologies； computer numerically controlled machining technologies； or other manufacturing technique suitable for low volume, high precision, custom parts. The interface attachment device can also be made by any additive manufacturing technology such as 3D printing.
