Background: The authors present a novel nasoalveolar molding protocol by prefabricating sets of nasoalveolar molding appliances using three-dimensional technology.

An initial nasoalveolar molding appliance was created based on the patient's first and only in-person maxillary cast, produced from a traditional intraoral dental impression.

Results from the authors' algorithm are equivalent to those of traditional nasoalveolar molding therapies; however, the number of required clinic visits and appliance adjustments decreased.

As three-dimensional technology costs decrease, multidisciplinary teams may design customized nasoalveolar molding treatment with improved efficiency and less burden to medical staff, patients, and families.
