Effect of thermoformed tray architecture on transfer accuracy of lingual brackets: A prospective clinical study
Tray architecture affected which axes were most vulnerable to error. Torque remained the least predictable dimension across all designs. Clinically, SR1 may be preferred in cases requiring strict control of rotation and buccolingual position, whereas BL1 offers a faster alternative for straightforward alignment without routine escalation to thicker bilayer trays.
