Research Advances in Orthodontic Force Measuring Device

Abstract

The fixed 01thodontic technique can effectively treat malocclusion. In the clinical process of 01thodontics, the 01thodontic force generated by the orthodontic 缸chwire used in each orthodontic stage and the prediction of the 01thodontic effect are mostly judged based on the experience of 01thodontists. The treatment results are completely dependent on the level of doctors, which is easy Lo cause injuries to patients and reduce the treatment efficiency. If the orthodontic force generated by the orthodontic archwire can be accurately measured and the orthodontic force can be expressed, it will have important application value for clinical orthodontic treatment. On Lhe basis of summar·izing the mech扣1ical principle of tooth movement in orthodontic 订ealment, Lhis paper summru·ized the research status of orthodontic force measuring device, analyzed the main problems in the applied research , and prospected the development of orthodontic force measuring device.
