Effect of thermoformed tray architecture on transfer accuracy of lingual brackets: A prospective clinical study

Key Points

• Transfer accuracy was significantly affected by tray architecture, with differing error vulnerability among axes.
• Torque was consistently the least predictable dimension, impacting the effectiveness of the trays.
• The SR1 design may be optimal for cases needing strict control, while BL1 offers a quicker solution for simple alignment.
• Understanding these architectural effects can inform better practices in orthodontic treatments.
