DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed project will develop a series of new orthodontic appliances using a patented technology. Using the appliances, clinicians will be able to quantify and manipulate the orthodontic force systems, which are not feasible at present. The ability to control the force system is essential for the advancement of orthodontical treatment. It enables the orthodontic community to optimize the appliance design and better understand orthodontic tooth movement because tooth moves in response to the orthodontic force system. Phase I of this project includes refining of the novel technology, evaluating existing appliances, establishing design parameters, and developing manufacturing process and capability for the new series of orthodontic appliances. Phase II of the project will design a series of optimal orthodontic appliances based on the clinical force requirements for three types of typical clinical cases. The products will be critically validated clinically for demonstrating their advantages. In the Phase III, the new products will be commercialized to benefit the orthodontics profession. The potential beneficiaries of the project are orthodontists in private practice, manufacturers who develop orthodontic appliances, graduate orthodontics programs that train orthodontists and researchers who study tooth movement and underlying mechanisms.

项目描述（由申请人提供）：本项目将采用专利技术开发一系列新型正畸矫治器。使用这些装置，临床医生将能够量化和操纵正畸力系统，这是目前不可行的。控制力系统的能力对于医学治疗的进步是必不可少的。它使正畸界能够优化矫治器设计，更好地了解正畸牙齿移动，因为牙齿移动响应正畸力系统。该项目的第一阶段包括改进新技术，评估现有的矫正器，建立设计参数，以及开发新系列正畸矫正器的制造工艺和能力。项目二期将针对三类典型临床病例，根据临床受力要求设计一系列最优正畸矫治器。这些产品将在临床上进行严格验证，以证明其优势。在第三阶段，新产品将商业化，以造福制药行业。该项目的潜在受益者是私人执业的牙齿矫正师、开发牙齿矫正器具的制造商、培训牙齿矫正师的研究生牙齿矫正计划以及研究牙齿移动和潜在机制的研究人员。
