Multi-functional Orthodontic Wire Tester

The book "Multi-functional Orthodontic Wire Tester" by Adithya Venkatesan provides a comprehensive analysis of the biomechanical factors in orthodontics. It highlights the necessity of a precise understanding of three-dimensional (3D) force systems and the movements of teeth during orthodontic treatment. In the past, literature on orthodontic biomechanics was often limited to two-dimensional studies. This specialized book describes the development of a cost-effective orthodontic wire tester capable of performing 3D measurements and analyses of orthodontic force systems. The detailed presentation of computer protocols and test results enables orthodontists to determine the forces and moments at specific points on the teeth with high accuracy. Furthermore, it opens up possibilities for future simulations and research in the fields of orthodontics and biomedical engineering.
