Abstract
In order to rapidly manufacture jaw models and transfer tray used in orthodontic field,computer tomography scanning data,three-dimension reverse engineering and rapid prototyping technology were combined.Jaw models were manufactured by means of selective laser sintering and stereo lithography apparatus respectively.The way fabricating jaw and brackets combination by selective laser melting,then suction plastic to acquire transfer tray was emphasized.Results indicate that jaw models have fine dimensional accuracy and transfer tray match well with brackets.This method provides a new idea for orthodontic doctors to diagnose and treat the sick,and a new strategy to mount and fix brackets.
