Lingual orthodontics requires precise bracket positioning to ensure successful treatment outcomes due to the unique challenges of limited visibility and diverse lingual tooth morphologies. This study explores the pivotal role of setup models and indirect cores (jigs) in addressing the aforementioned challenges. Indirect bonding systems, as opposed to direct methods, enable meticulous bracket placement facilitated by setup models fabricated in laboratories. These models serve as blueprints for ideal posttreatment tooth alignment, improving the predictability and efficiency of orthodontic procedures. Transfer trays, including individual jigs and full or partial trays, are critical for the accurate transfer of

bracket positions from the setup models to the patient’s teeth. These trays can be produced using both analog and digital methods, each having distinct advantages. An effective communication between orthodontists and laboratories is crucial, encompassing aspects such as impression accuracy, arch form evaluation, and treatment mechanics. This collaboration ensures accurate execution and adjustment of treatment plans, leveraging both digital and traditional techniques. Ultimately, the success of lingual orthodontics is rooted in this synergistic partnership, which not only fulfills clinical objectives but also enhances patient satisfaction through improved aesthetics and functionality.
