Effects of offset design on the accuracy of bracket placement with a  guided bonding device

ConclusionsOffset designs influenced the precision of vertical bracket placement with GBDs. Due to the smaller deviations in angulation and rotation of bracket placement, TF is preferred over EF for GBDs. Moreover, the differences between TF and EF also need to be considered in the design of other dental CAD/CAM devices.
