Orthodontic Jaw Bracket – Intelligent Bracket Technology
Mild and efficient orthodontic treatment through the
measurement of localized force and torque. Pain and pressure sensations arising during orthodontic treatment due to force and torque are usually gauged by the attending dentist while considering a patient’s inherent pain tolerance. By means of a bracket-integrated capacitive sensor unit, forces and pressure acting on individual teeth can be rapidly and reliably determined. Measured values are read through a counter-contact on the bracket, or in a contactless manner, with the assistance of a special orthodontic instrument. Measured changes allow the calculation of the necessary readjustments for successful tooth positioning, which results in an efficient, cost-effective and non-traumatic ongoing treatment. In addition, the measurement and acquisition of data relating to time dependent changes leads to better appraisal of the necessary readjustments, and correspondingly, to a reduction in treatment times and costs.
