Visualization of orthodontic forces generated by aligner-type appliances
Source abstract
Abstract
Recently, the number of patients who request esthetically pleasing aligner-type orthodontic appliances (referred to as aligners) has been increasing. However, the orthodontic forces generated by these aligners are still unknown. This study aimed to verify whether the orthodontic force in aligners can be estimated by measuring near infrared 2D birefringence, and to visualize the orthodontic force. We measured the mechanical and photoelastic properties of transparent orthodontic thermoplastic specimens to correlate the optical retardation with the applied load. The results confirmed equivalence between the mechanical properties and the photoelasticity. In addition, the 2D retardation distribution that occurred when stress was applied to the sample was mapped and visualized. This indicates that it is possible to estimate and visualize the orthodontic force using the retardation obtained by near infrared 2D birefringence measurement.
