Abstract
Along with advantages in LO there existed many other disadvantages for LO. Variation in the morphology of the lingual surfaces especially on the maxillary anterior teeth is commonly seen. Wide range of labial-lingual thickness of the teeth and the smaller inter bracket distance in the anterior region requires numerous in-out bends which are difficult. Tissue irritation, speech difficulties, difficulty in oral hygiene has been also seen in many conditions. The problems traditionally associated with lingual orthodontics cannot be solved with conventional manufacturing processes; instead, complete individualization of all appliance components is needed. Lingual Matrix (LMX) is such a system that involves a fully digital process. As LMX is a new concept, this study was carried out to assess the efficacy of lingual matrix in initial leveling and aligning.
