Lately digitalization surrounding us is increasingly taking place in various fields and it has never stopped its momentum. In our orthodontic field, we have already come to use digital tools not only photos and X-ray, but also a digital scanner instead of taking impression. Customized brackets and arch wires fabricated by digital setup are also becoming more popular.
Speaking of bracket, self ligation is well-known for its efficiency, reliability, and therapeutic effect. In this lecture, I'd like to introduce a "French made" fully digitally customized self ligating lingual system and my protocol for my asian patients with heavy crowdings.
