Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to an orthodontic force measuring device using a typodont and a load cell, and more particularly, to an orthodontic force measuring device using a typodont and a load cell, which connects an orthodontic application wire to a typodont, employs a load cell to measure an orthodontic force, reduces measurement error which may occur in a measurement method based on an image, precisely measures an orthodontic force, and measures an orthodontic force in a three-dimensional manner.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An orthodontic force measuring device comprising: a T-shaped rail frame comprising first and second rail frames; a tooth unit comprising a support positioned on the first rail frame and a typodont positioned over the support; an orthodontic force application unit positioned over the second rail frame and comprising a digital push-pull gauge and a support module; an orthodontic force sensing unit connected to an end of the digital push-pull gauge…
