    Short description:Orthodontics aims at treating malocclusions mainly with fixed appliances, composed of brackets and archwires. Wires’ sections and dimensions evolve with the leveling of the dental arches according to a sequence of archwires chosen by the practitioner. Mechanical loads initiate dental displacement but can also be iatrogenic if they are excessive. The scientific problem is that practitioners do not have a precise way to quantify and to control these mechanical loads.
