Smart Thinker Brackets―Next Generation

Measuring the three-dimensional force–moment (F/M) systems applied for correcting tooth malposition is highly desirable for accurate spatial control of tooth movement and for reducing traumatic sideeffects such as irreversible ischolar_main resorption. In this article, we have reviewed the application of smart brackets with CMOS micro-censors on the base of the brackets to quantify these force moment system.
