Abstract
Malocclusion is the world's third most common oral ailment. The fixed orthodontic procedure is now the most successful treatment strategy for malocclusion. Archwire bending is an important part of orthodontic therapy. However, because to the great stiffness and exceptional flexibility of orthodontic wire, it is a very difficult task. The old method of obtaining the created archwire curve is dependent on manual operation, which would bring various errors induced by human causes. Customised archwires are required in clinics for lingual orthodontics treatment. Previously, only expert orthodontists could physically bend these archwires. This is a pattern demands specialised skill training, precision, and extensive chairside time, but cannot guarantee the accuracy of appliances. So, what are the most recent developments?
