摘要： A method and system are disclosed for analyzing images of fiducials that provide an indication of the forces and/or torques applied to an orthodontic bracket. The mass of each of the pixels forming the fiducial image are multiplied by the square of the distance of the pixel along the image's x axis, the product of the distances of the pixel along the image's x and y axes, and the square of the distance of the pixel along the image's y axis. The second order moments of inertia about the centroid of the fiducial are calculated and used to form a first matrix. The first matrix is diagonal i zed into a second matrix, from which the fiducial 's first and second principal axes are determined. These axes are then used to measure the size of the fiducial in the image.

摘要： Force magnitudes and/or directions may be determined objectively using orthodontic brackets having an elastomeric member which allows one portion of the bracket to be resiliently moveable relative to at least on other portion of the bracket. In a preferred embodiment, the brackets include a lower base member, an upper bracket member, and an elastomeric layer interposed between the lower base and upper bracket members. The orthodontic bracket is advantageously employed as part of a system whereby the orthodontic bracket includes an elastomeric member which allows at least one portion of the bracket to be resiliently movable relative to at least one other portion of the bracket in response to an applied force, and at least one force-responsive sensor operatively associated with the orthodontic bracket for generating a detectable signal in response to movement of the at least one and other portions of the bracket. A detector is provided so as to allow for the wireless detection of the force-responsive signal generated by the force-responsive sensor and issue an output signal in response thereto. A processor receives the output signal from the detector to provide an indication of magnitude and/or direction of the force applied to the orthodontic bracket.

摘要： Ligature systems retain an arch wire within a slot of an orthodontic bracket. According to some embodiment, the ligature system retains an arch wire within a slot of an orthodontic bracket by means of a retaining element which is capable of being unidirectionally mechanically locked within the slot of the orthodontic bracket to retain an arch wire therewithin. The retaining element may comprise a pair of opposed outwardly projecting retaining edges. In some embodiments, the retaining element comprises a planar or curved retaining plate. The ligature system may include a central block in which the retaining plate is embedded such that the retaining edges extend outwardly therefrom. The ligature system may also include spike protruding outwardly from such central block so as to engage with the arch wire positioned subjacently thereto. In some embodiments of the invention, the retaining element is integral with the arch wire, while in other embodiments of the invention, the retaining element is integral with the slot in the orthodontic bracket. A dispenser may also provided according to the invention for dispensing individual ligature systems.

摘要： Las magnitudes y/o direcciones de la fuerza podrian ser determinadas, de manera objetiva, utilizando piezas de fijacion de metal o brackets ortodonticos que tienen un miembro elastomerico que permite que una porcion del bracket pueda moverse en forma elastica con relacion al menos a otra porcion del bracket. En una modalidad preferida, los brackets incluyen un miembro inferior de base, un miembro superior de bracket y una capa elastomerica interpuesta entre los miembros inferior de base y superior de bracket. El bracket ortodontico es empleado, de manera ventajosa, como parte de un sistema, y por medio del cual, el bracket ortodontico incluye un indicador de fuerza que se deforma en respuesta al movimiento relativo al menos entre una y otra de las porciones del bracket a fin de proporcionar una indicacion de la fuerza aplicada en el bracket. Un detector optico podria ser proporcionado para percibir, en forma optica, el indicador y enviar una senal de salida indicativa del movimiento elastico relativo entre los miembros inferior de base y superior de bracket. Un procesador recibe la senal de salida que proviene del detector optico con el objeto de proporcionar una indicacion de la magnitud y/o direccion de la fuerza aplicada en el miembro superior de bracket. La figura mas representativa de la invencion es la numero 2.
