Systems and methods for orthodontic bracket design

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform:

• accessing a 3D model of a patient's teeth;
• accessing a 3D model of a labial/lingual bracket structure indicating a design of a customized labial/lingual orthodontic bracket, wherein the customized labial/lingual orthodontic bracket comprises a base, a body, and a slot;
• positioning the 3D model of the labial/lingual bracket structure on a surface of a tooth at a first position in the 3D model of the patient's teeth, wherein the customized labial/lingual orthodontic bracket is customized for the first position;
• receiving an input indicating a change in the first position of the 3D model of the labial/lingual bracket structure on the surface of the tooth at a second position that is different from the first position in the 3D model of the patient's teeth;
• and
• in response to receiving the input indicating the change in the first position of the 3D model of the labial/lingual bracket structure on the surface of the tooth at the second position, modifying the 3D model of the labial/lingual bracket structure based on the change in the first position of the 3D model of the labial/lingual bracket structure on the surface of the tooth at the second position, wherein the customized labial/lingual orthodontic bracket is customized for the second position.
