Abstract: After its inception, 3D printing technology has played an important role in various fields. 3D printing technology is acclaimed as the subversive technology and has changed the traditional manufacturing industry. The technology has a close relationship with dental medicine. With the development of three-dimensional imaging technology and advancement in modeling techniques, such as cone-beam computed tomography, model scanning and intra-oral scanning technology, and CAD/CAM technology in the dental field, the progress and improvement of 3D printing technology are promoted. Under the background of digital medicine and precise medical model, 3D printing technology has become more and more widely used in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of orthodontics, and has provided tremendous support for clinical diagnosis and treatment. This article reviews the application of 3D printing technology in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of orthodontics.

Key words: 3D printing, orthodontics, personalized diagnosis and treatment, precision medicine
