Method for producing a patient-specific pad and corresponding pad

A method for producing at least one patient-specific pad for a modular bracket having a pad and a bracket body comprising:

• a) providing a pad material section,
• b) providing a punch having at least one punching stamp for punching out a plurality of raw pads from the pad material section,
• c) punching out the plurality of raw pads from the pad material section by means of the punch,
• d) providing a set of containers comprising a first row of at least 14 raw pad containers, a second row of at least 14 raw pad containers, and at least one additional raw pad container,
• e) placing the plurality of raw pads in the set of containers such that each of the raw pad containers of the first row contains raw pads for one tooth of the upper jaw, each of the raw pad containers of the second row contains raw pads for one tooth of the lower jaw, and the at least one additional raw pad container contains raw pads of a further size and/or with wing sections and/or with half occlusal sections, thereby forming a raw pad library,
• f) generating a patient-specific target set-up, in particular made of plaster, of the teeth to be treated of an upper jaw and/or of a lower jaw of a patient,
• g) selecting a raw pad from the raw pad library for a patient's tooth to be treated, and
• h) filling a gap between the raw pad and the corresponding tooth in the target set-up using a plastic filling material in order to produce for the pad a tooth-specific glued surface allowing for a form-fit to the clinical tooth of the patient.
