Abstract


The paper presents techniques and methods of direct and reverse engineering that were used in the reconstruction of an orthodontic system of a real patient. For this purpose, it started from a set of CBCT images of a patient who presented certain dental malpositions. Using the InVesalius program, the primary models for the dentition, mandible and maxilla were obtained.These models were imported into the Geomagic program where they were edited and processed. Later, the models were loaded into SolidWorks and transformed into virtual solids. Orthodontic wires and bracket elements were added to these models, using direct engineering techniques. Finally, important conclusions were presented.
