Three- dimensional (3D) printing is a relatively newer addition that is extensively researched and experimented for various applications in orthodontics and orthognathic surgeries. Advances in 3D printing and its applications have been incorporated in various fields of engineering and medicine whereas dentistry to a large extent still relies on subtractive manufacturing in the form of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) to produce crown copings and bridge frameworks. The review aims to present detailed discussion on advances in 3D printing techniques, printing resins and their applications in the field of orthodontics and orthognathic surgery
