Recently, intraoral scanners and 3D printers have revolutionized many aspects of general dentistry, including orthodontics. Some examples of this progress have been the possibility of immediate printing of digital intraoral records, the pre-visualization of treatment objectives, the preparation of indirect bonding guides for braces, the development of aligner systems through companies and the possibility of in-office manufacture and, the adaptation and design of orthodontic appliances with resin and metal alloy direct printing. The objective of this scientific note is to describe some advances of the digital flow in orthodontics.
