Short summary of the project 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.
